- Popis
Karel Čapek (1890-1938) is generally considered the greatest Czech author of the first half of this century. This volume includes a selection of Čapek's best plays, stories, columns, essays, and travel writing, all newly translated or modernized and corrected.
In his writings, Čapek searched for the root, or the radical center, of our contradictions and mysteries. From a paean to clumsy people and the discovery of a single footprint in an untrodden field of snow, to dramatic meditations on mortality and commitment, there is little that Karel Čapek did not examine in his uniquely humorous and searching way.
CONTENTS -- Plays (all in new translations): R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), The Makropulos Secret, The Mother, and Act II of From the Life of the Insects.
