Inhaltsangabe

On its initial publication in Czech in 1942, Saturnin was a best seller, its gentle satire offering an unexpected&;if temporary&;reprieve from the grim reality of the German occupation. 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 Zdenek 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.&; Saturnin will warm the heart of any fan of literary comedy.
