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.

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.

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.

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.

I read it in one sitting, losing track of time. It is not often that one comes across such a work of art. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a masterpiece among masterpieces. It is a tremendous work.

I love Kafka's works, but I must admit that I was bowled over by this Chapek. I think it is a wonderful work that is not at all inferior to "The Metamorphosis," although the genres are different.

This work is a great way to learn about the leading Czech writer Čapek. It provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the life, thoughts, and works of the creator of the word "robot."

Reading this book in conjunction with Chapek's work will allow you to enjoy Chapek's work more.

I recommend this book as it is very clear and easy to read.

What was Kafka "seeing"? If you want to know, you have no choice but to go to Prague. Whether you are actually going on a trip or playing in your imagination. This book, a travel reader and tour guide to Prague, is designed to be a competent companion in both cases. The houses and streets have been reproduced as much as possible from original photographs. (From the text)

Kafka's works are full of mysterious twists and turns, and there are many scenes that make the reader panic.

I highly recommend this book as an introduction and reference to Kafka.

This is especially recommended for those who find the Kafka difficult to approach because it is difficult and dark. I am sure it will change your image of Kafka. I have come to like Kafka more and more.

I am glad that each of the "Kafka Short Stories" is very compact and can be read easily. To be honest, "The Judgement" and "The Castle" are long and have many difficult parts, so they are difficult to read. However, this collection of Kafka's short stories can be read easily without losing the charm of Kafka's works, and I highly recommend it.
