Description
This noetic trilogy is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Karel Čapek's artistic creation and remains highly modern and contemporary to this day - in its message and multilayeredness. The individual stories do not share a connected plot or common characters, are not linked by a chronological sequence or depicted environment, and are stylistically diverse. They share some key themes, which they explore in their own way - the fear of loneliness, the need for love, the conflict between the mundane and poetry, the desire for something that transcends us. In each of them, death plays an important role, and this extreme situation serves as an impulse for the search for humanity. All examine the problem of possibilities, methods, and paths of human understanding, and all conclude that arriving at the truth about the world, about the other person, and about oneself is nearly impossible.
