War with the newts : musical-myestery : a direct broadcast of the complete destruction of the world! Don't miss it! For tchnical reasons the world can only be destroyed once!
Originally written in 1936, two years before Capek's death and three years before the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia, War with the Newts is considered by many to be Capek's greatest book. Working in the "fantastic" satiric tradition of Wells, Orwell, and Vonnegut, Capek chronicles the discovery of a colony of highly intelligent giant salamanders off the coast of an Indonesian island. Capek sardonically details all the reactions of the civilized world - from horror to skepticism, from intellectual fascination to mercantile opportunism - and the ultimate destruction from which it (and the newts) might not escape.

"Vědecko-fantastický román o náhodně objeveném druhu učenlivých mloků, kterých se snaží kapitalistická společnost využít pro své vykořisťovatelské cíle a kteří jí nakonec přerostou přes hlavu tím, že si osvojí lidskou reč, podle buržoasních vzorů si vytvoří podmořskou říši, převezmou fašistickou ideologii a její válečné cíle, vyhlásí heslo "čistého Mloctví" a dají lidstvu ultimatum s požadavkem "životního prostoru". Na této osnově vytvořil Čapek mnohostrannou satiru na kapitalistickou společnost a na mezinárodní politiku buržoasie v 30. letech, na fordovské vykořisťování, na rasismus, na vědu hledající nové způsoby vyhlazování lidí, na uhýbavost a "mírumilovnost" Společnosti národů při řešení ožehavých hospodářských a politických otázek."
"Jevištní, dnešní poměry a myšlení postihující parafráze románu Karla Čapka, namířeného proti kapitalistické honbě za ziskem, zmechanizování civilizace a zrůdným světovládným choutkám fašismu."
"War With the Newts, one of the great dystopian satires of the century, is about the discovery by a Dutch sea-captain of a race of giant, intelligent, talking, and walking newts. When humans begin to exploit the newts as slaves, the creatures organize to fight the oppression, taking up arms and challenging the humans for control of newt destiny and freedom."@en
"Nové vydání "románové utopie o zániku lidské civilizace", které světový vývoj uchoval pozoruhodnou aktuálnost, takže i dnes by autor mohl říci, co před třemi desetiletími, když ji vypravil do světa: "Není to spekulace o čemsi budoucím, nýbrž zrcadlení toho, co jest a uprostřed čeho žijeme." Kniha byla odměněna první cenou za ilustrace a typografickou úpravu v národní soutěži pro Mezinárodní vystavu knižního umění v Lipsku 1965."
"Světově proslulý román, vydaný poprvé r. 1936, formou fantastické groteskní zkratky přibližuje obraz soudobého světa, odhaluje negativní tendence novodobé civilizace a zesměšňuje problematické společenské vztahy, z nichž semůže zrodit nebezpečí války."
"Dobrodružně utopický román, který v přívalu groteskních událostí uvádí na svět předpotopního a domněle vyhynulého jestěra. Nález, který z počátku působí jen jako neuvěřitelné kuriosum, stává se východiskem úžasných přeměn hospodářských, sociálních i politických a osud celého lidstva se ocítá v sázce. Skvělá utopie obrazí základní problémy války a míru, lidského soužití národů."
