Sir John Lubbock was one of the most significant figures of the Victorian era. He became popular via his books, which were published in many editions and translated into various languages. Two of them were translated into Czech: Pleasures of Life and The Beauties of Nature and the Wonders of the World We Live In. The article at hand deals with the circumstances surrounding the process of translating both books and with the correspondence between John Lubbock and his Czech translators.
