Harrison / from / Karel Capek / 22. / VIII. 30."Although best known today for his science fiction, Capek enjoyed widespread acclaim during his lifetime for his travel writing.

The second installment, Letters from England, was an immediate success with English readers and was reprinted numerous times between 1925 and 1943.
