War with the Newts de Karel Capek

War with the Newts: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Karel Capek
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2018
A darkly humorous Czech satire: a new super-breed tries to conquer the world...

War with the Newts(1936) is Karel Capek's darkly humorous allegory of early 20th-century Czech politics. Captain van Toch discovers a colony of newts in Sumatra which can not only be taught to trade and use tools, but also to speak. As the rest of the world learns of the creatures and their wonderful capabilities, it is clear that this new species is ripe for exploitation - they can be traded in their thousands, will do the work no human wants to do, and can fight - but the humans have given no thought to the terrible consequences of their actions.

Recenzii

A great writer of the past who speaks to the present in a voice brilliant, clear, honourable, blackly funny and prophetic
His satire still packs a punch, and the storytelling is brilliant.
Sheds remarkable light on the literature, culture and politics of the region...anyone coming fresh to the field will be captivated by the richness, variety, humour and pathos of a classic literature that, through a shared historical experience, transcends national and linguistic boundaries.
