WorldCat: Libraries worldwide that own item: 1. Karel Capek was a Czech writer, playwright and critic. He has become best known for his science fiction, including his novel War with the Newts (1936) and play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots, 1920), which introduced the word robot. He also wrote many politically charged works dealing with the social turmoil of his time. Influenced by American pragmatic liberalism, he campaigned in favor of free expression and strongly opposed the rise of both fascism and communism in Europe. Though nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times, he never received it. Capek wrote on a wide variety of subjects including science fiction, the ethics of industrial inventions and processes, mass production, and nuclear weapons, intelligent artificial beings such as robots or androids. He wrote detective stories, novels, fairy tales and theatre plays, and even a book on gardening. He wrote play The Makropulos Affair, on which Leos Janacek's opera is based.
