War with the Newts by Karel Capek

ISBN: 9780141192703 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 352 PUBLICATION DATE: 6.05.2010 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX20mm 259grams

DESCRIPTION: War with the Newts (1936) is Karel Capek's darkly humorous allegory of early twentieth-century Czech politics. Captain van Toch discovers a colony of newts in Sumatra which can not only be taught to trade and use tools, but also to speak. As the rest of the world learns of the creatures and their wonderful capabilities, it is clear that this new species is ripe for exploitation - they can be traded in their thousands, will do the work no human wants to do, and can fight - but the humans have given no thought to the terrible consequences of their actions.
