NY: A.A. Wyn, 1948. First edition. Octavo; 460pp.; orange cloth boards, orange topstain; dust jacket. The barest hint of foxing to textblock fore-edge, else fine in a very near fine, unclipped jacket, printed (per British wartime paper restrictions) on the back of a War Office topographical map of Sumatra. A sharp copy of this first collected edition of Capek's trilogy of thematically linked novels. Translated by R. and M. Weatherall.
