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 characterized 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." Mixing the archaic with
the innovative, raw colloquialisms with biblical quotations, Summer
of Caprice opens an uproarious window onto the Czech spirit, humor,
and way of life.
