Mirna Šolić from Glasgow University, an expert on Czech literature, has published a new book on Karel Čapek’s travel books.
Even though the core of Karel Čapek's literary work was fiction and his status of a world-renewed author mainly due to his novels, Mirna Šolić from Glasgow University chose to focus on his travel books.
"He travelled through Italy, England and Scotland, writing about Scotland and England separately," recounts Solic.
A book called “In Search of a Shared Expression. Karel Čapek's Writing and Imaginative Geography of Europe” was published by the Faculty of Arts at Charles University in Prague.
