Jemina, the Mountain Girl
Written circa 1917, and published published much later in "Vanity Fair". It was later first published in book form in Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922.Written, like "Tarquin of Cheapside," while I was at Princeton, this sketch was published years later in "Vanity Fair." For its technique I must apologize to Mr. Stephen Leacock.I have laughed over it a great deal, especially when I first wrote it, but I can laugh over it no longer. Still, as other people tell me it is amusing, I include it here. It seems to me worth preserving a few years—at least until the ennui of changing fashions suppresses me, my books, and it together.

The Travels of Sir John Mandeville
"Jehan de Mandeville", translated as "Sir John Mandeville", is the name claimed by the compiler of a singular book of supposed travels, written in Anglo-Norman French, and published between 1357 and 1371.By aid of translations into many other languages it acquired extraordinary popularity. Despite the extremely unreliable and often fantastical nature of the travels it describes, it was used as a work of reference — Christopher Columbus, for example, was heavily influenced by both this work and Marco Polo's earlier Il Milione (Adams 53).

Lacná kniha Nevěsta z Texasu (-70%)
Na stopy Čechů, kteří v letech 1861–1865 bojovali v americké občanské válce, narazil Josef Škvorecký víceméně náhodou, když v archivu Chicagské univerzity hledal podklady k románu o Antonínu Dvořákovi Scherzo capriccioso. Příběhy krajanů, kteří se dobrovolně zapojili do války o budoucí podobu Nového světa, na něj silně zapůsobily a inspirovaly ho k úvahám o příštím románu. Sedm let věnoval studiu archivních pramenů: vedle politicko-historických i vojenských okolností a peripetií války Severu proti Jihu se však snažil porozumět především denní rutině a běžným radostem a strastem tehdejších vojáků i civilistů, zkrátka najít otisky jejich skutečného života, které se z odborných pojednání zpravidla vytrácejí. Tak vznikla Nevěsta z Texasu, román nejen válečný, ale také milostný, dobrodružný, politický, společenský, místy dokonce humoristický – a samozřejmě také historický. Román o desítkách lidských osudů, který nelze jen číst, ale do něhož je třeba se ponořit a nechat se jím unést. Román, ve kterém nenajdeme jen jeden z mnoha příběhů o americké občanské válce, ale především – jako ve všech knihách Josefa Škvoreckého – hlubokou lidskou zkušenost.
