Synopsis of War with the Newts
En esta novela distópica de ciencia ficción, Karel Čapek presenta una sátira hilarante sobre la catástrofe ecológica y los objetivos financieros. El capitán von Toch descubre una raza de nuevas inteligentes en la Polinesia y decide usarlas para la búsqueda de perlas. Sin embargo, las nuevas se reproducen rápidamente y pronto se convierten en una amenaza para la humanidad. Aclamada como una de las primeras novelas distópicas, 'La guerra de las salamandras' es una obra inteligente, divertida y relevante que aborda temas como el capitalismo y el auge del fascismo.
