"There was no writer like him...prophetic assurance mixed with
surrealistic humour and hard-edged social satire: a unique
combination" (Arthur Miller) This volume brings together fresh new
translations of four of his most popular plays, more than ever
relevant today. In R. U. R., the Robot - an idea Capek was the
first to invent - 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 is a fantasy
about human mortality, finally celebrating the average lifespan;
The White Plague is a savage and anguished satire against fascist
dictatorship and the virus of inhumanity.
