First published in Prague in 1929, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Gardener’s Year\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e combines a richly comic portrait of life in the garden, narrated month by month, with a series of delightful illustrations by the author’s older brother and collaborator, Josef. Capek’s gardeners—all too human, despite their lofty aspirations—often look the fool, whether they be found sopping wet, victims of the cobralike water hose, or hunched over, hands immersed in the soil, “presenting their rumps to the splendid azure sky.” In their repeated folly, Capek gives us not only cause for laughter but also, in the end, “testimony of the imperishable and miraculous optimism of the human race.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50965415887176,"sku":"9780375759482","price":420.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4710\/1084\/files\/617ck_WyjAL._SY425.jpg?v=1753185622","url":"https:\/\/bendox.cz\/products\/the-gardeners-year-modern-library-gardening","provider":"Bendox Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
