Laurent Binet's "HHhH" Synopsis and Comments - A masterful novel about a high-level Nazi assassination mission in Nazi-occupied Prague!

Čapek, "Conversations with Masaryk: The Life and Thought of the Philosopher President" - Masterful biography of the great Czech president!

This book is a biography about Masaryk, who became the first president of the independent Czech Republic after World War I. He was originally a professor of philosophy and was deeply respected by his people, who called him the philosopher president because of his virtue. Why is the Czech Republic so cultured? Why do they value thought and language so highly? I felt that Masaryk had such a clue.

Summary and Impressions of Chapek's "England Day by Day" - Travels in England by the Czech Genius Writer

This is a travelogue of England by the genius Prague writer best known for "Robot" and "The Prickly War."

As a Czech, he visits the hegemonic nation of England and introduces England as seen from a foreigner's perspective with his characteristic humor.

He visited that Baker Street. I felt that Chapek also loved Holmes. It's nice to know this side of him in a travelogue.

Chapek's "White Disease" Synopsis and Impressions - An unknown plague suddenly begins to spread in the world just before the war! What is the fate of mankind?

This work is science fiction written in the form of a play, and is quite compact, with only a little over 150 pages in the paperback edition. However, like his masterpiece "Robot," it is surprisingly dense. I was drawn into the story and read through it in no time. This work is also full of Chapek's charm. I highly recommend this work.

Chapek's "Prickly War" Synopsis and Comments - An amazing satire on the Nazis! Will science and technology save mankind? A classic masterpiece of modern science fiction!

Normally, if you're looking for a science fiction thriller, you'd choose something more terrifying, like aliens, monsters, or machines. Chapek, however, is different. After all, he is a Prickly Ash. To be honest, it's a little bit cute. But in Chapek's writing, the eeriness goes far beyond aliens and monsters. This work is also a critique of Nazism and totalitarianism.
