"This replete volume offers further proof, if any were needed, of a still-underrated great writer's distinctive versatility, creative energy, and humanity."
Kirkus, 07/01/2002
Review:"Later in his career..., Capek would get it right: the mysteries are solved, the explanations are simple, and there is almost always a clever twist that ties everything up at the end. But in these earlier stories he was willing to experiment, to cede his own authority, to confess bafflement....The bafflement results in some wonderful fictions...."

Book Description: Catbird Press,U.S., United States, 2002. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 221 x 149 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Written during and right after World War I, this volume pairs two short story collections from Karel Capek, considered one of the greatest Czech writers. The first collection, "Wayside Crosses," presents an agonized and unsuccessful search for God and truth. These metaphysical tales are not about finding God as much as they are about discovering man's limitations, his terror and helplessness, and understanding the value of the ongoing search. The second collection, "Painful Tales," contains more realistic stories of characters being forced to make choices in which one good conflicts with another.
