The year is 1936 and we're back to our beloved Czech author Karel
Capek. This is a much grimmer end of the world when compared to his
1922 novel THE ABSOLUTE AT LARGE. While both novels address the
danger of voracious human consumption, this one digs much deeper
into the horrors of colonialism, and the exploitation of "the
Other". There are no good guys here, but there are no mustache
twirling villains either, and Capek gets to the heart of so many of
the current dangers that threaten humanity.
Although, who was Bondy in real life and what axe did
Capek have to grind with him???
