Z díla velikána české i světové literatury - 3 CDmp3

This Czech-language audiobook presents works by Karel Čapek about people, animals, nature, mysteries and artificial intelligence. The selection draws on all recordings of this great Czech writer preserved in the Supraphon archive, combining them with new recordings by younger performers. Čapek was a great believer in reason, yet he sensed that the most human qualities emerge only in exceptional moments that reflect something divine. His fear that artificial intelligence might overcome humanity became a theme in many of his literary and dramatic works, and he is regarded as one of the founders of science fiction. The audiobook features performances by Olga Scheinpflugová, Karel Höger, Rudolf Hrušínský, Josef Somr, Ladislav Mrkvička, Hana Maciuchová, Jakub Albrecht, Igor Orozovič, Ivan Lupták and others. It includes Tales from Two Pockets, feuilletons, Apocrypha, How Things Are Done, The Fatal Game of Love, The Robber, R.U.R., Insect Life, The Makropulos Affair, Adam the Creator, The White Disease, The Mother, Wayside Crosses, Embarrassing Tales, I Had a Dog and a Cat, and The Gardener’s Year.
