23.5.2005 An unpleasant mistake found on the page "Interesting facts" was corrected. Josef Capek died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in April 1945 and not in the Terezin concentration camp as I incorrectly stated before. I wish to thank Gyula Bognar, Jr. for alerting me about this fact. I apologize for this unfortunate error. 14.4.2004 The "Opilec" controversy has been finally sorted out. A scan of the 1925 version of Josef Capek's short story shows clearly that Josef used the word "automat" in his writing. Click here to learn more. 1.4.2004 Broken links repaired. 30.3.2004 Some precisions have been added on the question of the creation of the word robot. Thank you to a visitor from Madrid for notifying me. The English version of Capek's famous 1924 essay "Why I am not a Communist" has been added to the website. 24.11.2003 A summary of the play The Mother is online. 6.11.2003 A summary of the play The White Plague is online. 26.8.2003 There is now a french version of this site. 18.4. 2003 English titles of Capek's works have been reviewed. Links have been updated. 27.5. 2002 More information on RUR and the origin of the word "robot" and a new biography have been added. 10.4. 2002 More historical background on the creation of the word "robot" by Karel Capek has been added. This english section of the site gets about 15 visitors a week. 11.3. 2002 A review of The Gardener's Year has been added to the website. You can now download Capek's speech in the MP3 format. Greatly enlarged photo section. 27.12. 2001 The complete drama RUR in which the word "robot" was used for the first time is now available online in an English translation. 17.12. 2001 A comprehensive presentation on Karel Capek - a great starter has been added. 7.8. 2001 So here I write again - after a year and a half. I didn't have much time to enlarge the Czech version, let alone translate more documents into English. I will however try my best to improve the standing situation and present more of Capek's work in English. 9.2. 2000 So far the English version of this site has only a few translated documents: the biography, a list of the works of Karel Capek, some photos and a few translated book summaries. Please be patient while I translate the rest. Don't hesitate to sign my guestbook or email me with your questions or comments, I will be glad to answer.
