Capek Four Plays R. U. R.; The Insect Play; The Makropulos Case; The White Plague【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞"There was no writer like him. . . prophetic assurance mixed with surrealistic humour and hard-edged social satire: a unique combination" (Arthur Miller)＜/p＞＜p＞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 ?apek 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.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,365円
The Absolute at Large【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞"One of the genuine masterpieces of sci-fi." ー R. D. Mullen＜/p＞＜p＞In this satirical and enduringly relevant work of science fiction, the acclaimed Czech author Karel ?apek offers a prescient fable of the benefits and dangers of atomic power. Originally published in 1922, the story is set in a then-futuristic Czechoslovakia of 1943, in which an inventor develops the Karburator, a device with the potential to provide abundant low-cost energy. But the reactor's exciting possibilities are shadowed by its dangerous side effect: instead of carbon dioxide, it emits the Absolute, a spiritual essence that inspires a powerful religious fervor. Greed triumphs over ethics as the inventor and his business partner proceed with mass production of the Karburator, resulting in simmering religious strife that ignites a world war.＜br /＞ Karel ?apek is best known for popularizing the term "robot" in his play ＜em＞R.U.R.,＜/em＞ a seminal work of science fiction in which the robots are metaphors for a world dehumanized by social organization and technology. He offers another strikingly foresighted vision in ＜em＞The Absolute at Large,＜/em＞ written decades before global warming awareness yet predicting the catastrophic consequences of the unchecked pursuit of profit by business and industry.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,729円

War with the Newts【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞One of the great anti-utopian satires of the twentieth century, an inspiration to writers from Orwell to Vonnegut, at last in a modern translation. Man discovers a species of giant, intelligent newts and learns to exploit them so successfully that the newts gain skills and arms enough to challenge man's place at the top of the animal kingdom.

R.U.R. and the Vision of Artificial Life【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A new translation of Karel ?apek’s play ＜em＞R.U.R＜/em＞.ーwhich famously coined the term “robot”ーand a collection of essays reflecting on the play’s legacy from scientists and scholars who work in artificial life and robotics.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Karel ?apek's “R.U.R.” and the Vision of Artificial Life＜/em＞ offers a new, highly faithful translation by ?t?p?n ?imek of Czech novelist, playwright, and critic Karel ?apek’s play ＜em＞R.U.R.: Rossum’s Universal Robots＜/em＞, as well as twenty essays from contemporary writers on the 1920 play. ＜em＞R.U.R.＜/em＞ is perhaps best known for first coining the term “robot” (in Czech, ＜em＞robota＜/em＞ means serfdom or arduous drudgery). The twenty essays in this new English edition, beautifully edited by Jitka ?ejkov?, are selected from ＜em＞Robot 100＜/em＞, an edited collection in Czech with perspectives from 100 contemporary voices that was published in 2020 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the play.＜/p＞＜p＞?apek’s robots were autonomous beings, but biological, not mechanical, made of chemically synthesized soft matter resembling living tissue, like the synthetic humans in ＜em＞Blade Runner, Westworld＜/em＞, or ＜em＞Ex Machina＜/em＞. The contributors to the collectionーscientists and other scholarsーexplore the legacy of the play and its connections to the current state of research in artificial life, or ALife. Throughout the book, it is impossible to ignore ?apek’s prescience, as his century-old science fiction play raises contemporary questions with respect to robotics, synthetic biology, technology, artificial life, and artificial intelligence, anticipating many of the formidable challenges we face today.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Contributors＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Jitka ?ejkov?, Miguel Aguilera, I?igo R.

The Gardener's Year【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞"This very entertaining volume with its delightfully humorous pictures should be read by all gardeners." ー＜em＞Nature＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Mr. ?apek writes with sympathy, understanding, and humor." ー＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Has a mellowness and a charm that give it a high place in the humorous literature of gardening … will delight the amateur gardener, and indeed everyone else." ー＜em＞Saturday Review＜/em＞＜br /＞ The creator of this book is best known internationally as the author of ＜em＞R.U.R.,＜/em＞ the science-fiction play that introduced the term "robot" to the world. Karel ?apek's satiric gifts take a different turn in this impishly comic book, which recounts the trials, labors, joys, and meditations of the amateur gardener.＜br /＞ Rather than a how-to book, ?apek's volume offers a lighthearted mock-treatise on the pains and rewards of tending a small and resistant garden plot. From January to December, the author and his brother, illustrator Josef ?apek, trace the vagaries of the amateur horticulturist's year, with brief side notes on seeds, the soil, plants, the beauties of autumn, and other aspects of gardening. Fifty-nine delightful drawings complement this book, which will amuse readers with and without green thumbs.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,329円

Believe in People The Essential Karel Capek【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Playful and provocative, irreverent and inspiring, Capek is perhaps the best-loved Czech writer of all time. Novelist and playwright, famed for inventing the word 'robot' in his play ＜em＞RUR＜/em＞, Capek was a vital part of the burgeoning artistic scene of Czechoslovakia of the 1920s and 30s. But it is in his journalism - his brief, sparky and delightful columns - that Capek can be found at his most succinct, direct and appealing.＜br /＞ This selection of Capek's writing, translated into English for the first time, contains his essential ideas. The pieces are animated by his passion for the ordinary and the everyday - from laundry to toothache, from cats to cleaning windows - his love of language, his lyrical observations of the world and above all his humanism, his belief in people. His letters to his wife Olga, also published here, are extraordinarily moving and beautifully distinct from his other writings.＜br /＞ Uplifting, enjoyable and endlessly wise, ＜em＞Believe in People＜/em＞ is a collection to treasure.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,599円

The Gardener's Year【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞The Gardener’s Year＜/em＞ is a charming and light-hearted insight into the life of an amateur gardener. Structured loosely around what to plant, grow or cultivate each month, Karel Capek takes us on a rollicking journey through a year in his own small garden.＜/p＞＜p＞Complete and unabridged.

Weatherall.＜/p＞＜p＞From making puddles with an untamable hose to sowing luxuriant weeds instead of grass, Capek reveals how a gardener grows into his surroundings ‘spurred on by each new failure’. Subverting the tradition of a ‘how to’ gardening book, he teaches his readers about the magic of seeds, the perils of planting vegetables and the thrilling surprises of a rock garden.

The Absolute at Large【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This story centers on the invention of a reactor that can annihilate matter to produce cheap and abundant energy. Unfortunately, it produces something else as a by-product, the absolute. The absolute is a spiritual essence that according to some religious philosophies allegedly permeates all matter. It is associated with human religious experience, as unsuspecting humanity is to find out all too soon in the story. The widespread adoption of the reactors causes an enormous outpouring of pure absolute into the world. This leads to an outburst of religious and nationalist fervor, causing the greatest, most global war in history. R. D. Mullen called the novel "one of the genuine masterpieces of SF," but noted that due to its originality "it has surely had no great influence on popular SF."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	132円
