Clasificar 'La guerra de las salamandras' dentro del género de la ciencia ficción sería restringir el alcance de esta extraordinaria novela. Junto a 'La guerra de los mundos' de Wells, 'Un mundo feliz' de Huxley o '1984' de Orwell, 'La guerra de las salamandras' es una de esas obras de imaginación en que las realidades y los problemas del hombre contemporáneo se analizan y sintetizan con emocionada lucidez. Su aparición en 1936 coronó la carrera literaria de Karel Čapek, quien, junto a Jaroslav Hašek, universalizó la lengua y la narrativa de su país, la Checoeslovaquia democrática e independiente de la primera mitad del siglo XX, la patria de Masaryk. Nacido en 1890 y muerto en 1938, poco después de ser propuesto para el premio Nobel, Čapek dejó una importante obra teatral, narrativa, ensayística, periodística y de viajes.
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.
