Neruda's poetry collections were based on contemporary spoken language. He was a member of "the May school", which dominated Czech literature in the 1860s and 1870s, and which opened doors to the currents in European literature. This book is a collection of short sketches, translated into English for the first time in 1957 by the novelist and mystery writer Ellis Peters (pseudonym of Edith Pargeter).
