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.
