   What could be better during the golden age of boating on the Thames than a relaxing row up the river? So think J., George and Harris – not forgetting Montmorency the dog – but little do they suspect the mishaps, the scrapes and the japes that lie along the winding way. From becoming impossibly lost in the maze at Hampton Court to battles with tins of pineapple chunks, all the while attempting to limit the destruction wrought by the mischievous Montmorency, Jerome K. Jerome's classic novel of humorous misadventures and comedic authorial digressions is a paean to the banalities of everyday life and has entertained readers for more than a century.

3. Tři muži v automobilu

   Nerozluční přátelé Jiří, Harris, Jerome a jejich psí společník Montmorency vyrážejí na další společnou dovolenou. Po zážitcích na lodi a bicyklu se vydávají do Hamburku, Berlína, Prahy, Chocně a Kopřivnice. Svou cestou plnou dobrodružství i přátelského špičkování vzdávají hold anglickému humoru, nádherné době přelomu 19. a 20. století, kdy se zdálo být všechno možné, i průkopníkům automobilismu. A to obzvláště těm kopřivnickým. Miroslav Macek k této knize dodává: „Trvalo téměř rok, než jsem náhodně narazil na zajímavou ranou historii prvních Benzových automobilů a pojal nápad vyslat Jeroma, Jiřího a Harrise na cestu do Kopřivnice – Nesseldorfu a namísto anglických reálií popsat tehdejší prostředí německé, české a moravské. Výsledek usilovné práce (zvláště týkající se detailů tehdejších železných tratí, nádraží a reálií měst) máte před sebou a doufám jen, že vám opětovně přinese zábavu a trochu toho poučení.“

  When J. the narrator, along with George, Harris, and Montmorency the dog, embark on their comedic misadventures, they are unprepared for the chaos involving tow-ropes, erratic weather forecasts, imaginary ailments, butter pats, and tins of pineapple chunks. Although denounced as vulgar by the literary elite, the book captured the zeitgeist of its era. The rise in education and the growing number of office workers fostered a new mass readership, particularly among the 'clerking classes' yearning to escape the relentless pace and striving that plagued nineteenth-century life. Its immense popularity led Jerome to reunite his characters for a bicycle tour of Germany. In this sequel, despite some astute and prophetic observations about the country, the journey is limited only by the need to return within a set timeframe.
