TRAVELS IN THE NORTH
Written by Karel Capek. Illustrated by Karel Capek.
Stock no. 1830299
Published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd.. 1939. Almost very good condition in a almost very good dustwrapper.

Capek travelled north beyond the Arctic Circle because he wanted to see at last the lands of his boyish dreams, and of his life-long friends, Kierkegaard, Jacobsen, and others, and also because the silvery and cool birch trees, the aconites, the moss, and the sparkling waters appeal to him strongly. He tells of his impressions in the generous style of a smiling philosopher and there is a great mellowness and depth in his observations. Yellow cloth boards, silver title to spine. Colour frontis and b/w line drawings throughout. 269 pages plus publisher adverts to rear. Third impression in the same year as first impression. Spiner and horizontal edges of boards browned and a few foxspots. Heavy foxing to text block and some foxing to contents. Pictorial dustwrapper is edge-worn with a few small chips, browned to spine, small foxspots present.
