Capek-Chod, Karel Matej

    0.02 sec.

Čapek-Chod, Karel Matěj (1860–1927)

Czech writer of social and moral analytical and satirical novels. A pessimist and determinist, Capek presented his characters as helpless puppets of fate and technological progress. His novel Turbina/The Turbine (1916) turns the spotlight on industrial capitalism. Intellectual circles at the turn of the century are scrutinized in Antonin Vondrejc (1917–18). The novel Ad hoc (1919) moves between the home front and scenes of fighting during World War I.
