Product Description
Humorous, insightful, and imbued with profound humanity, these letters convey a bemused admiration for a country that in the 1920s still lived according to the memory of its greatness. With a light touch and artistic flourish, Capek described the virtues and vices of Europe's oldest democracy for the benefit of the citizens of Europe's newest. Banned by the Nazis and later by the Communists, this new translation offers an opportunity to enjoy the unusual foundations of a national culture.
