Jeeves a svatební zvony
ISBN: 9788025713891 / Czeski / 2015 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Podobně jako detektiv Hercule Poirot Agathy Christieové, i sluha Jeeves nyní ožívá dávno po smrti svého tvůrce, anglického humoristy P. G. Wodehouse. Má nového autora, jímž je Sebastian Faulks, a ten se s jeevesovskou tradicí vyrovnal na výbornou. Bertie Wosster, Jeevesův pán, se na Azurovém pobřeží zakoukal do krásné Georginy, ale milostný vztah se samozřejmě zamotá a najednou je to Jeeves, a ne Bertie, kdo je vydáván za jejího nastávajícího; sluha mění role rychleji než Lelíček ve službách Sherlocka Holmese.
