Author: Čapek, K.

Description: This volume brings together four of the most popular plays by Karel Čapek, as relevant today as ever. In "R.U.R.', the Robot gradually takes over all aspects of human existence except procreation; "The Insect Play" is a satirical fable in which beetles, butterflies and ants give dramatic form to different philosophies of life; "The Makropulos Case" examines human mortality, and "The White Plague" is a savage and anguished satire against fascist dictatorship.
