Summer of Caprice - 57734

Summer of Caprice, a captivating comic novel first published in 1926, is a classic of Czech literature, yet it is little known elsewhere.

Commonly considered untranslatable due to the complexities of the text, which is characterised by a playful narrative and an exceptional mastery of language, and its profound cultural context, it is rendered here in English that beautifully captures Vladislav Vancura's experimental style-or, as the author himself called it, his 'poetism in prose'.
