In the years since, the novel has been hailed as a classic of Czech literature, and this translation makes it available to English-language readers for the first time--which is entirely appropriate, for author Zdeněk Jirotka clearly modeled his light comedy on the English masters Jerome K. Jerome and P. G. Wodehouse. The novel's main character, Saturnin, a \"gentleman's gentleman\" who obviously owes a debt to Wodehouse's beloved Jeeves, wages a constant battle to protect his master from romantic disaster and intrusive relatives, such as Aunt Catherine, the \"Prancing Dictionary of Slavic Proverbs.\" \u003ci\u003eSaturnin \u003c\/i\u003ewill warm the heart of any fan of literary comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Karolinum Press, Charles University","offers":[{"title":"Saturnin | Zdenek Jirotka | Hardcover | 9788024606835 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1774025","offer_id":49674605854872,"sku":"1774025","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61pJBnkbr0L.jpg?v=1786550883","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/saturnin","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
