Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
