«La guerra de las salamandras» is the science fiction novel by Czech writer Karel Čapek, published by Bruguera in paperback (331 pages, in Spanish).
A race of intelligent salamanders appears on a remote island. Humans, driven by greed, exploit them as cheap labor until the creatures rebel and become a threat. Čapek writes a satire of exploitation, colonialism, and totalitarianism, and an allegory about the danger of objectifying other beings.

For readers of classic science fiction who enjoy political and social allegories.
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.
