About the Author

KAREL ČAPEK (1890-1938) is one of the great Czechoslovak writers of the twentieth century.

What People are Saying About This

Kurt Vonnegut

God bless Catbird Press for calling the attention of Americans to a great writer of the past who speaks to the present in a voice brilliant, clear, honorable, blackly funny, and prophetic.

Arthur Miller

It is time to read Capek again for his insouciant laughter, and the anguish of human blindness that lies beneath it.

Milan Kundera

War with the Newts will never fall into oblivion....Capek is perhaps the first European writer whose novels anticipated the gruesome vision of a totalitarian world.
