"But the evening comes, the air is steeped in warmth and has a keen savour; the whole of Madrid, if it has legs at all is walking, thronging and surging..."
An illustration from the book "Letters From Spain" written and illustrated by Karel Capek, translated by Paul Selver, published by George Bles, London, 1931. Capek, (1890-1938), the Czech writer best known for his plays, wrote a number of travel books in an amused and urbane style which suffused his accompanying drawings as well. He invented the word 'robot'.
