Shooting Star: a Trilogy of Capek's Philosophical Novels

(czech Republic) Karel Capek

257K0

The trilogy of philosophical novels composed of three interrelated novellas, "Hodoub", "Meteor" and "Ordinary Life", is Capek's most unique and powerful work. The novel carefully arranges three highly compact stories that are intertwined. It tells the lost lives of a group of ordinary people with a narrative method of multiple perspectives and free imagination, emphasizing the relativity between truth and reality. The story of the novel is full of suspense, and the creative skills and critical spirit complement each other. It is a wonderful work. This book was included in the "Ideal Book Collection" by the French "Reading" magazine and included in the "Classic Book List" of the "Western Canon" by the famous American literary critic Harold Bloom.
