First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. First Edition, First Thus. Text/Bright, strong & Near New. Gilt embossed green linen boards/Good; strong & sound with marked discoloration, soiling, and edge rubs. DJ/None. Fold-out map to rear. POname to fEP. First published in Czech under the title: "Tricet let na zlatém severu". Arctic adventure story. First-hand account of Czech adventurer, traveller, writer and Eskimo chief of New Siberia Jan Welzl (1868 - 1948), also known by the pseudonym Eskymo Welzl and the nickname Arctic Bismarck. Some argue the work to be a hoax, and is a parody of travel/adventure literature by written by Czech satirist Karel Capek (1890 - 1938), author of the Forward to foreign editions. Nevertheless, the book enjoyed great success on publication and, whoever the author was, was a good storyteller.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. London. Geoffrey Bles. 1944. Reprint. Originally published in 1925. Hard Cover. Black boards with author and titles to spine on beige spine inlay. Just about legible but some wear. The spine ends are a little frayed and corners are knocking. Binding sound. Gift inscription and owner name with a couple of marks on the front endpaper. With numerous line illustrations by the Author. Translated by Paul Selver, Capek was as one of the most influential Czech writers of the 20th century.Humorous, insightful, and imbued with profound humanity, these letters convey a bemused admiration for a country that in the 1920s still lived according to the memory of its greatness. With a light touch and artistic flourish, Capek described the virtues and vices of Europe's oldest democracy for the benefit of the citizens of Europe's newest. Banned by the Nazis and later by the Communists, this translation offers an opportunity to enjoy the unusual foundations of a national culture.
