Résumé

"The Pothunters" by P. G. Wodehouse is a novel set in the fictional public school of St Austin's, where the students are preparing for their annual sports competition. The story begins with Tony Graham, a student at St Austin's, who has just returned from a boxing competition at Aldershot, where he unexpectedly defeated his cousin Allen Thomson. Upon his return, Tony learns from his junior, Robinson, that the school pavilion has been burgled, and several sports prizes have been stolen. The narrative unfolds with a mix of humor and intrigue as the students speculate about the burglary and its implications. Jim Thomson, Tony's friend and Allen's brother, confides in Tony about his own secretive escapade into the pavilion to retrieve his notes, which coincided with the burglary. This revelation adds a layer of tension as Jim fears being implicated in the crime. Meanwhile, the story also explores the dynamics within the school, particularly the relationship between the students and their head of house, Plunkett, who is portrayed as ineffective and unpopular. The novel captures the essence of school life, with its mix of sports, camaraderie, and the occasional mischief, all set against the backdrop of a mysterious burglary that keeps the students and faculty on edge.
