Klarigoj

Almost all I know about non-Russian Eastern European literatures, whether or not English translations of the relevant works exist, comes through Esperanto. In the 1970s I read this collection of science fiction stories by Czech author Josef Nesvadba (1926-2005) in Esperanto translation. I'm pretty sure I liked this book, but I didn't think then to see if his work could be found in English. I also did not know that Nesvadba was Czechoslovakia's most eminent SF writer. (There are also film versions of some of his work.) And so I left Mr. Nesvadba to himself until a few days ago. As it turns out, there is more available in English than I have found in Esperanto, but there are a few stories in this Esperanto anthology for which I cannot find English equivalents. Here are some sources on Nesvadba in English:
