Blurb: “In the brief brightness between World War I and World War II, the new republic of Czechoslovakia shone lucidly, a country old in tradition, young in impulse and desire. And perhaps the greatest writer it produced was the impish, elfin, hugely humorous
Karel Capek, the man who invented the word "robot," immediately accepted by most languages; the man who held up a polished mirror of wit and wisdom to mankind's most cherished foibles.
WAR WITH THE NEWTS is Capek's prophetic and stirring novel about man's fatal propensity to stuff himself with discovered sweets till he becomes sick-a novel in the great tradition of Lucian, Swift, and Voltaire, perhaps one of the few truly enduring classics written in our times.”
