This trilogy by Karel Čapek brings together three novels that explore different ways of knowing and telling a life: a miner's return to his homeland, the fragmentary reconstruction of an adventurer through various voices, and the inner examination of an ordinary man.
1989 edition from the Taschenbibliothek der Weltliteratur series, translated from the Czech by Eckhard Thiele; the original was published in 1934.
For readers of twentieth-century Czech fiction and of philosophical and psychological novels.
Karel Čapek was a Czech writer, playwright, critic and journalist. He has become best known for his science fiction, including his novel War with the Newts (1936) and play R.U.R., which introduced the word robot. He also wrote many politically charged works dealing with the social turmoil of his time. Influenced by American pragmatic liberalism, he campaigned in favor of free expression and strongly opposed the rise of both fascism and communism in Europe.
