Product Description
by Karel Čapek (Author)
This antiquarian volume contains Karel Čapek's delightful book - "Intimate Things". It is a series of short articles concerning a variety of unconnected subjects ranging from snow to dreams. This text makes for easy-going and entertaining reading, and would constitute a great addition to any collection. The chapters include: "On Literature", "Frost Flowers", "For Bookworms", "Snow", "On Dreams", "Maps", "Fires", "Melancholy", "A Plan Frustrated", "Cats in Spring", "Portents", "Forerunner of Spring", "Birds", "The Inner Voice", etcetera. Karel Čapek (1890 - 1938) was a twentieth century Czech author and playwright, famous for coining the term 'robot'. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
