The gardener's year / Karel Čapek ; illustrated by Josef Čapek
By: Čapek, Karel.
Publisher: Mineola, New York : Dover Publications, Inc., 2017ISBN: 9780486817248.Subject(s): GardeningDDC classification: 635 General note: "This Dover edition, first published in 1963 and reissued in 2017, is an unabridged republication of the work translated by M. and R. Weatherall and published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, in 1931." The creator of this book is best known internationally as the author of R.U.R., the science-fiction play that introduced the term "robot" to the world. Karel Čapek's satiric gifts take a different turn in this impishly comic book, which recounts the trials, labors, joys, and meditations of the amateur gardener. Rather than a how-to book, Čapek's volume offers a lighthearted mock-treatise on the pains and rewards of tending a small and resistant garden plot. From January to December, the author and his brother, illustrator Josef Čapek, trace the vagaries of the amateur horticulturist's year, with brief side notes on seeds, the soil, plants, the beauties of autumn, and other aspects of gardening. Fifty-nine delightful drawings complement this book, which will amuse readers with and without green thumbs.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
