First edition of this collection of short stories by Ä apek. Lelio was Ä apek's debut book, published first in 1917, Pro delfína appeared in 1923. Two years later this joint edition of the two collections of short stories was also published in 1,000 numbered copies. Josef Ä apek (Czech cubist painter, writer, and poet; 1887-1945) is credited as the coiner of the word "robot". Although some sources claim that the word "robot" first appeared in the short story "Opilec" of the volume "Lelio", but actually it was "automat". "Robot" appeared first in Josef's brother's 1920 play, "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots), as the name for artificial workers. Karel had difficulties to name these humanoid machines and asked Josef to find something instead of the academically sounding "Labori". Josef coined the word "Robot" deriving it from the Czech "robota", forced labor. . Wrappers artistically restored. Inside clear and firm. Overall in fine condition.

Prague: Nakladatel Fr. Borový, 1916. Octavo (22 × 13.4 cm). Original pictorial wrappers by Hofman; 122, [6] pp. With fourteen smaller and three full-page drawings by Hofman. Very good; in protective mylar. The first book publication by the ?apek brothers (Karel and Josef ?apek), this collection of experimental prose works was illustrated throughout by the architect and artist Vlastislav Hofman. A prolific author of prose and plays, Karel C?apek is today best known for his groundbreaking science fiction play R.U.R., in which the word ?robot? was used for the first time. It was in fact coined by his brother Josef, a noted Czech painter and book designer.Alongside Josef ?apek and Bed?ich Feuerstein, Hofman (1884?1964) is considered not only a key figure of Czech Cubism, but also a pioneer of the Czech avant-garde around Dev?tsil, who strove to unite the different genres. He is known today primarily as an architect, furniture designer, and stage designer; he was also a painter and essayist. Not only his architectural designs ? most of which were never realized ? attracted much attention, also abroad, for example in Walden's journal ?Der Sturm?, but also his early graphic works. Thus, there were far-reaching debates about his graphic series on Dostoyevsky, which appeared in 1917. After a well-received exhibition of the drawings in the bookshop and print room of art publisher Jan ?tenc, a scandal erupted when Hofman submitted these cubist-expressionist drawings to another exhibition, this time at the highly esteemed Mánes Gallery. The conservative jury unanimously rejected the drawings for being merely experimental, prompting critic Václav Nebeský, in an article entitled "Literariness or Experiment??, to attack their theoretical incompetence and to point out that the drawings had received an enthusiastic response among writers and literary critics. It was Alois Wachsmann, an artist from the up-and-coming generation and a member of the avant-garde group Dev?tsil, who defended the new art, praising Hofman?s apparent isolation from contemporary influences coming to Bohemia from, among other places, France.The volume contains seven other short stories besides the titular text: "C?ervená povídka", "L'éventail", "Lásky hra osudná", "Skandál a ?urnalistika", "Mezi dve?ma polibky", "Ostrov", and "?ivý plamen".As of April 2023, KVK, OCLC show six copies in North America.
Prague: V komisi Ust? studentského knihkupectví a nakladatelství, 1925. Octavo (19.5 × 15 cm). Original decorative wrappers; [5] pp., [10] leaves of black-and-white reproductions, [3] pp. of text. Very good. With a three-page introduction by artist and writer Josef ?apek, followed by ten reproductions of work by Matou?ek (1901?1961), one of the first Czech surrealist painters, who made important early forays into abstraction. He was a classmate of Jind?ich ?tyrský and later joined the Dev?tsil Group, but he did not officially join the Czech Surrealist Group. This book evidently preceeded his first major exhibits: with the Dev?tsil Group in 1926, and three major retrospectives in Prague in 1930, 1933 and 1937. After 1939, his work was shown internationally, including in Paris, London, and New York. Matou?ek also created the spare, yet striking cover design. In the late 1930s he spent much of his time in Paris and after the German occupation moved to London, where he founded the Czechoslovak School of Applied Arts in Chelsea. ?apek?s preface notes the influence of Purism as well as Constructivism on the young painter, and also points out what makes these works unique: they were all created in order to be reproduced in book form, in order to increase their range. In his work on Czech photo-montage, Jind?ich Toman notes: ?Although not a book of picture poems, as announced by Teige, Franti?ek Matou?ek?s publication Images in Book Form is an important attempt to create art for print. The paintings were executed in black and white in anticipation of the black-and-white printing process? (Photo/Montage in Print, 115). Vloemans 50. Toman 3.3.28. We have only seen one copy in the trade in the last ten years, the last copy handled by us (in 2018). As of December 2023, KVK and OCLC only show two copies in North America.
