James May Knihy

James May si jednoho dne řekl, že opravdoví muži ze světa v posledních pětadvaceti letech skoro vymizeli a nahradili je feministé. Rozhodl se s tím něco udělat, a sice připomenout staré dobré mužské dovednosti v domácnosti i přírodě a zkusit vymyslet i prár nových, ať už jako praktické zlepšováky všedního života, staré řemeslné dovednosti nebo ulítlé nápady, z nichž kdovíjaký užitek neplyne, ale každý nezženštělý chlap z nich má radost jako malý kluk. Návody a vychytávky jsou popsány vtipně a jasně, a přestože není nutné zkoušet úplně všechno, co je tu předvedeno, pořád je to zábavné čtení, k němž James May doporučuje popíjet silné pivo a sníst aspoň jeden čtvrtkilový biftek. Kdo knihu přečte celou a aspoň někdy se jí inspiruje, ten pravděpodobně zjistí, že je najednou pro své okolí nepostradatelný a jak manželka, tak děti, ale i staří rodiče nebo sousedé k němu vzhlížejí jako k renesančnímu kutilovi, který umí všecko opravit, vykoumat a zařídit. Nebo skoro všecko.
