Karel Čapek: The Book of Apocrypha

Unlike most of his other short story books, which were written continuously over a shorter period of time, Čapek wrote the Apocrypha for almost two decades - from 1920 until his death. The original collection of five stories (The Apocrypha, 1932) gradually grew to twenty-nine (The Book of the Apocrypha, 1945). They are particularly illustrative of the development and transformation of Čapek's artistic method in the area of the so-called. short stories, counting, like the two cycles of short stories from one pocket and the other, on the diversity of the readership. It reads: Lubor Tokoš.
