The Excursions of Mr Broucek

Broucek, a bourgeois landlord from Prague, is the Czech-equivalent of Mr Pooter. (His name translates as Mr Beetle.) He plods away in his humdrum life – until he is swept away on several excursions to get away from the people bother him. First stop is the moon, followed by a trip to the 15th century during the Hussite uprisings. Alas, he can travel far, but he can’t get away from those irritating people.
