My Enemy The Motor: A Tale In Eight Honks And One Crash is a novel written by Julian Street and published in 1908. The story follows the protagonist, John Gray, as he navigates the changing landscape of early 20th century America and the rise of the automobile. Gray, a successful businessman and avid horseman, becomes increasingly frustrated with the intrusion of cars into his life and the dangers they pose to both himself and his beloved horses. As the story progresses, Gray finds himself in a series of comical and dangerous encounters with motorists, including a high-speed chase through the streets of New York City and a near-fatal collision with a reckless driver. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including a fellow horse enthusiast, a group of automobile enthusiasts, and a beautiful young woman who shares his love of the outdoors. Through Gray’s experiences, the novel explores themes of technological progress, social change, and the clash between tradition and modernity. It also offers a humorous and satirical commentary on the early days of the automobile, poking fun at the quirks and foibles of early motorists and their machines. Overall, My Enemy The Motor is a lively and entertaining read that provides a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
