Krakatit

Karel Čapek's novel The Krakatit will soon be 100 years old, which is a respectable age, yet even today's reader may feel that it is a contemporary book. Ing. Prokop is looking for an answer to a very live, topical question: what role a decent and capable person is supposed to play in the modern world.   
The story is full of pure humanity with everything, smallness and exuberance, strength, courage and morbid cravings for unlimited power, dark passion and simple goodness of heart. Wisdom and insight, alongside pure, tragically eternal unteachability.
