Description
This collection of detective stories, first published in 1929, continues to entertain and surprise readers with its rich language, gentle humour, freshness of narration and thoughtful exploration of human weaknesses, morality and justice. Karel Čapek populates the stories with a gallery of ordinary characters, from petty thieves, fraudsters and postmen to stamp collectors. At certain moments, his heroes find themselves hesitating over crime and guilt, as well as the possible punishment for it. Thanks to the colourful stories and the author’s lively, entertaining style, the book remains one of the most widely read works of Čapek’s prose. The contents are in Czech.
