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 Vanura’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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Vladislav Vancura

VLADISLAV VANCURA (1891-1942) foi médico, novelista, contista, cronista, dramaturgo, guionista e ensaísta. O «poeta da ficção» – como era apelidado – lutou incansavelmente contra o nazismo, tendo morrido às mãos da Gestapo durante a ocupação nazi da República Checa. Tido como um dos grandes artífices da literatura checa moderna e um dos maiores escritores europeus da sua época, tornou-se conhecido com Marketá Lazarová, uma novela histórica inspirada nos seus antepassados, cavaleiros da nobreza rural checa, publicada pela primeira vez em 1931 e que depressa se transformou num bestseller.
