About the author

Karel Čapek

1890–1938

Best known for the play R.U.R., he helped give the world the word “robot” and became one of the most important Czech writers of the 20th century. His fiction mixes sharp imagination with deep concern for ordinary people, freedom, and the dangers of dehumanizing power.
