Vladislav Vančura, translated by Mark Corner
Summer of Caprice
Vančura's Summer of Caprice is often said to be untranslatable. It is both because of the stylized language and the development of the context in which the book moved for the past eighty years. From this point of view this edition is an experiment, not only thanks to the translation by Mark Corner - which is like all other translation an interpretation of the text to a certain degree - but also thanks to orginal illustrations by Jiří Grus and typography of Zdeněk Zeigler. It is, however, an experiment aimed to offering an understaning of Czech nature, humour and worldview.
