Description
A crystal spring in Chicago? Essays and anecdotes in which Josef Václav Sládek (1845—1912) serialized his experiences from North America between 1868 and 1870 enrich the traditional portrait of the poet and translator with new features and present him in an unusual role as a correspondent, journalist, and publicist. The collection is organized chronologically to faithfully reconstruct the writer's journey 'on an adventure' across the United States, where waves of emigrants from Central Europe headed in the 1860s for political, economic, or personal reasons to fulfill their 'American dream.'
