Abstract
A re-evaluation of the meaning an impact of a major Czech interwar fiction writer and journalist. Commissioned for a special issue of the journal Russian Literature on Czech literature. The article argues that although Čapek´s formative experience is deeply anchored in the Austro-Hungarian empire, he was a keen observer and as such he has been able to describe a number of mechanisms of human behaviour which seem to be relevant at any time, and, perhaps surprisingly, their relevance is particularly pressing in the contemporary era.
