Dealer Notes

Inscribed by the author on the half-title, ‘À Mme Wennerberg, un petit souvenir de Karel Čapek, 22. XII.34’. The recipient was Dagmar Wennerberg (née Schlasberg), wife of the Swedish diplomat Folke Wennerberg, whose bookplate adorns the pastedown – the couple married in the year of publication. Both have added their initials at the close of the text to record successive dates of completion in the first months of 1935.
Čapek’s travels around Scandinavia in the mid 1930s were recorded in ‘Cesta na Sever’ (‘A Year in the North’) – this presentation copy is a small testament of the warm reception he received throughout the region.
