Jeho zkušenosti a úvahy jsou však, i přes velkou časovou vzdálenost, stále platné, zajímavé a pozoruhodné.

Audiokniha:,Vlídné úvahy slavného anglického humoristy o běžných věcech kolem nás. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha:,Anglický spisovatel Jerome Klapka Jerome si od svých 21 let psal eseje a krátké humoristické příběhy, které shrnul v roce 1889 do knihy Tři muži ve člunu o cestě několika přátel, plujících po Temži a bavících sebe navzájem nejrůznějšími historkami ze života. Milionů prodaných výtisků se dočkalo nejen toto vydání, ale i pokračování z roku 1900 a nazvané Tři muži na toulkách. Miroslav Horníček v úvodu četby vzpomíná na citace celých kapitol těchto knih zpaměti vždy, když mu bylo dobře s přáteli, stejnými nadšenci Jeromova díla jako on sám. S požitkem labužníka se pak Horníček noří do vyprávění, které tak důvěrně zná a miluje a stejně jako miliony dalších obdivovatelů tohoto díla je potřebuje znovu a znovu slyšet či říkat, neboť jsou osvěžující potravou pro jeho duši. Náš výběr se soustředil na jednotlivé krátké humoristické příběhy, dnes již legendární (Výhody sýra coby spolucestujícího, Jak postarší hlava rodiny věší obraz, Bujará sebedůvěra správkaře velocipedů, Bludiště v Hampton Courtu, Jak Harris zpívá kuplety, Nesnáze hudebníků amatérů,...). Přitažlivost a síla historek, považovaných za extrakt tzv. anglického humoru, nespočívá ani tolik v pointě, jako ve způsobu, jímž se autor na děje, které se nakonec mohou přihodit každému z nás, dívá, upozorňuje na jejich směšnost a učí nás v nich také vidět zdroj nevyčerpatelné zábavy. Zvukovou kulisou vyprávění jsou dobové ragtimy a variace Benjamina Brittena. Neodolatelné spojení Miroslava Horníčka, anglického humoru a světoznámého románu! (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha:,Ve volném pokračování slavného románu Tři muži ve člunu se tři svérázní přátelé vydávají na cyklistický výlet do Německa a opět zažívají nezapomenutelné příhody. Samozřejmě dojde i na několik nebezpečných dobrodružství – Harris urazí úřední osobu, Jerome zcizí kolo a George vstupuje na dráhu černého pasažéra. Českého posluchače jistě zaujme, že se „tři muži“ zastaví také v Karlových Varech a Praze. Jak vypadala tato města před sto lety v očích anglických džentlmenů? Jerome Klapka Jerome vám odpoví se svým typickým humorem. Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859–1927) anglický spisovatel a redaktor, známý zejména pro své humoristické povídky a cestopisy. Rodák z Walsallu ve Staffordshire neměl bezstarostné mládí. V patnácti letech Jerome osiřel a živil se jako úředník na dráze, ochotnický herec a začínající spisovatel. To se však radikálně změnilo, když ve třiceti letech přinesl do redakce časopisu Home Chimes rukopis Tří mužů ve člunu. Časopisecký seriál se brzy proměnil v knihu, která se jen v Anglii do dnešních dnů dočkala stovky vydání a byla přeložena snad do všech světových jazyků. Zanedlouho se autor k postavám Jeroma, Harrise a George vrátil ve volném (a neméně úspěšném) pokračování Tři muži na toulkách. Otakar Brousek starší (1924–2014) Herce s vysoce kultivovaným hereckým projevem a nádherným podmanivým hlasem si pamatují celé generace diváků i posluchačů rozhlasových her a audioknih. V mládí hodně sportoval, hrál na housle a zajímal se o literaturu a divadlo. Ztvárnil více než 120 rolí klasického i současného divadelního repertoáru a za celoživotní mistrovství v činohře získal v roce 2004 cenu Thálie. Zahrál si přibližně ve 40 snímcích, například Andělská tvář, Můj brácha má prima bráchu či F. L. Věk. Daboval například George Cowleyho v britském seriálu Profesionálové nebo Albuse Brumbála ve filmové sérii Harry Potter. V roce 1996 získal Cenu Františka Filipovského za celoživotní mistrovství v dabingu. Pro Tympanum načetl audioknihy Jistě, pane premiére 1 a 2 a Tři muži na toulkách. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Autobiografie z pera autora Tří mužů ve člunu a na toulkách, kterou Jerome K. Jerome vydal v roce 1926, pouhý rok před svou smrtí. Svým typickým duchaplným, výstižným stylem a zároveň bez servítků se vrací do krásných i krušných časů svého dětství a dospívání, k rodičům a smutku z jejich ztráty. Vzpomínky na chudobu a výchovu ve viktoriánské Anglii a v poměrně vypjatém náboženském duchu střídají historky o prvních krocích ke spisovatelské slávě, následných úspěších i potížích s kritikou, divadlem a tehdejšími nepříliš přívětivými zákonitostmi nakladatelského světa. Komentáře neujdou ani autorovi slavní kolegové, Amerika a cesty po Evropě, které si mohl dovolit, když konečně prorazil, a které ho poté inspirovaly k dalším dílům. Důležitým milníkem v Jeromově životě byla i první světová válka a jeho působení coby řidiče sanitky a laického zdravotníka, s níž poté souvisí i jeho úvahy o životě, víře a morálních postojích. Českým čtenářům, kteří zatím Jeroma K. Jeroma znají převážně jen jako slavné jméno, nabízí tato kniha pohled do časů a života vskutku pozoruhodného člověka. (patro.cz)

eBook:,Ve druhém díle slavných Tří mužů se s Harrisem, Georgem a Jeromem vydáme na převážně cyklistický, ale hlavně humorný výlet do Evropy Tři dobří přátelé, kteří se před časem vydali na plavbu po Temži v knize Tři muži ve člunu, by rádi vyrazili na další pánskou jízdu. Plány jim lehounce komplikují a zpestřují manželky a děti a tandemová kola, ale všechny překážky se podaří překonat a tentokrát se vydají do Evropy, dokonce navštíví Prahu. Druhý díl Tří mužů mají mnozí současní čtenáři ještě raději než první. A opět je to humorné a opět naprosto současné. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha:,Méně známý a neprávem opomíjený román z pera klasika anglické humoristické literatury Jerome K. Jeroma. Dvacet let po slavných Třech mužích ve člunu autor, už coby otec tří dětí, svým nezaměnitelným stylem popisuje trampoty spjaté s nákupem venkovské nemovitosti a její rekonstrukcí. Rámcový děj je prošpikován zábavnými historkami o známých, příbuzných a dětech, o strastech s uvykáním venkovskému žití v kontrastu s životem ve městě a o spoustě dalších patálií. Na pozadí lehce plynoucího vyprávění se mimochodem dozvídáme i mnohé o fungování společnosti v edvardovské Anglii. To vše se nese v laskavém duchu Jeromovy oduševnělé prózy, s řadou postřehů citátového charakteru. Román Oni a já se do rukou českému čtenáři dostává v novém překladu po dlouhých šestaosmdesáti letech a je stejně svěží a brilantní jako v době svého vzniku. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
