About the Book

As one of many, the author of this novella "I'm No Match For You, Crook!" attempts to point out the various ills that surround us in life, which complicate it and torment us. These are deceit, corruption, crooked behaviour, false pretence, the desire to get rich in dirty ways at the expense of others and, last but not least, infidelity, which often leads to the dissolution of marital unions with unfortunate impacts on children.
Many of these traits are found in the work's main character: farmer Jeroným Kroupa, whose main source of wealth is simple loan-sharking, which is tolerated and ignored by the local authorities and the police, whom he manages to skilfully put in the palm of his hand through corruption.
This handsome, respected local citizen, head of the board of directors of the local farmers, has no problem working his way into the good graces of girls and women with the goal of taking advantage of them.
A condition on the large sums of money he lends to farmers is the acquisition of their land if they should fail to repay the money on the agreed date. This was the strategic idea behind his business. He was able to predict with sufficient accuracy whom this plan would work on.
One of these men was farmer Ferdinand Hanousek. He was unprepared in estimating his financial possibilities while investing the borrowed sum. As a result, he was far from being able to repay the debt on time. In an attempt to have the debt postponed, reduced or even forgiven, he devised ways to take revenge on Jeroným. To do this, he didn't hesitate to utilize the services of his employee, milkmaid Tereza. If Jeroným didn't take the bait, he would publicly compromise him. To do this, he intended to exploit his weakness, which was his strong affection for women.
Neither Jeroným nor Ferdinand led orderly family lives. Their relationships with their wives were full of falsehoods, deceit and pretence. And so was the case with Helena, Jeroným's wife.
The unravelling of the complexity of the actors' relationships in the novella occurs in an unexpected way, in which everyone ultimately finds the place in the world which they deserve.
You may be the judge yourselves, dear readers, of whether this place is the correct one or not...
