The Casting of Bells (Outstanding Authors Series #2)

Seifert, Jaroslav

In English and Czech in facing pages. This is the book that Jaroslav Seifert asked us, on his death bed, to publish with his royalties from his The Casting Of Bells, which we had published a year before he won the Nobel Prize, and was his only book in English in the U.S.A. at the time. Czechoslovakia was in the Soviet Union at the time.

Eight Days: An Elegy for Thomas Garrigue Masaryk/Osm Dni

Morový sloup =: The plague monument

This is the best translated and largest edition of poetry by the Czechs' only Nobel Prize–winning poet, Jaroslav Seifert (he won the prize in 1984 and died in 1986). The poetry is surprising in its simplicity, sensual, thoughtful, moving, comic in turns. Author Milan Kundera has called this collection “the tangible expression of the nation’s genius.”
