War with the newts by CAPEK, KAREL
Evanston, IL,: Northwestern University Press,. 1985. Soft Cover. Introduction by Ivan Klima. 348 pages, wrappers, some shelf wear otherwise very good. From the cover, 'War with the Newts was Capek's last and most famous work. Written in 1936, its brilliant moral and political satire influenced George Orwell's Animal Farm. Its fabulous amalgam of grace, wit, philosophical subtlety and surrealistic comedy recalls the work of Capek's countrymen, Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Hasek. As Hitler's armies prepared to take over Czechoslovakia, Capek's newts prepared human civilization for a fantastic danse macabre.' .
