| Description | From the internationally acclaimed Czech writer Karel Capek comes this beautifully written and marvelously apt account of the trials and tribulations of the gardener's life. First published in Prague in 1929, "The Gardener's Year" combines a richly comic portrait of life in the garden, narrated month by month, with a series of delightful illustrations by the author's older brother and collaborator, Josef. Capek's gardeners--all too human, despite their lofty aspirations--often look the fool, whether they be found sopping wet, victims of the cobralike water hose, or hunched over, hands immersed in the soil, "presenting their rumps to the splendid azure sky." In their repeated folly, Capek gives us not only cause for laughter but also, in the end, "testimony of the imperishable and miraculous optimism of the human race." This Modern Library edition is published with a new Introduction by Verlyn Klinkenborg, a "New York Times" editorialist and the author of "Making Hay" and "The Last Fine Time". |
We give things a new story. We sell and buy books, Lego sets, board games and PC games. In the beginning, it was the wish of two enthusiasts to improve the functioning of second-hand bookstores and be beneficial to the world. Today, we create a huge community of conscious people who are looking for a sustainable shopping choice from a financial and environmental perspective. And with them, with you, we write new stories of things that would otherwise remain forgotten. We will send you the money for everything you sell to us immediately. With us, you don't wait for the books to sell. We will do what we say. We believe that even the smallest details are of great importance, so we think through every aspect of our business, from the way we buy books, through packaging materials to communication with each of you. We have designed our Restocks loyalty program of shopping credits to reward you for every support you give.
