Description
(Letters from cool England in honor of quarantine restrictions being lifted and borders opening.)
Karel Čapek, Czech writer, playwright, and publicist, visited Great Britain in 1924 as the author of popular plays (including the first-ever play about robots, “R.U.R.”). There he observed many surprising things: talking women and silent valleys, divine crystals and devilish machines, charming villages and terrible cities. He met Shaw, Wells, and Chesterton, sailed on lakes, climbed mountains, stroked cats (without that nowhere), and terribly missed his native Prague. In general, he had a successful trip.
