“ Again and again his fiction returned to that happy children’s land

( Bohemian Forest ) …

In the age of the Bohemia’s ‘becoming a state’

and the dukes of Babenberg in the 12th century
(in Witiko) the quiet natural growth of the mediaeval culture
is unfolded at the heavy work of the colonists …
Marvellous … the description of the wild, unbeaten nature
and the … landscape ”
(Martini)
