One of the best czech books of poetry,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Casting of Bells (Outstanding Authors Series #2) (Hardcover)
I have this book in czech and I am sure it is one of the best czech books of poetry. It is so emotional, lovely ... you must read it. Seifert is the biggest czech poet of 20th century.
