"THE GARDENER'S YEAR...captures wonderfully the absurd spectacle of gardening. He plays the bemused observer in this little book, but he cannot hide his obvious affection for the simple suburban garden or his understanding of how important the sanctity of the garden was to his countrymen."
Adrian Higgins, Washington Post Book World, 03/10/2002
Review:"Karel Capek was a playwright in the theater of the absurd....He brought that sense of absurdity to the garden...."
Michael Pollan, Time Out (New York), 03/14/2002

Book Description: Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd., United Kingdom, 2004. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 190 x 130 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. It is seldom that a practical guide to gardening attains the level of a literary masterpiece, still more seldom that a book on gardening can amuse and instruct even those who have no garden to plant., nor the faintest interest in acquiring one. The Gardener s Year is a charismatic product of Karel Capek s genius: amusing, informative, and full of a quizzical interest in people, animals and plants.In this new version, Geoffrey Newsome the highly acclaimed translator of Capek s witty Letters from England has captured the grace and irony of the original Czech, to produce a volume that will be treasured equally by those who love gardening as a relaxation, by those who loathe it as a chore, and by those who have no interest in it whatsoever.
