TWO KAREL ČAPEK BOOKS ARE BACK IN PRINT!



Apocryphal Tales
by Karel Čapek
Translated by Norma Comrada

In his Apocryphal Tales, Karel Čapek approaches major events and figures of history, myth, and literature
in unexpected ways and from fresh points of view. These tales are apocryphal because they were, in effect, left out of
the official stories that constitute our history and literature. In these tales, Čapek shared his wisdom most directly and enjoyably.




Talks with T. G. Masaryk
by Karel Čapek
Translated by Michael Henry Heim

Never have two such important world figures collaborated in a biography:
Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (1850-1937), the original Philosopher-President who founded Czechoslovakia in 1918,
and Karel Čapek (1890-1938), the leading Czech writer of the time.
Čapek interviewed Masaryk over a number of years and produced a single narrative that tells Masaryk's
incredible story in a voice as ordinary yet magical as the best of Čapek's fictional characters.
The result is a biographical work like no other, in form or in content.
