    Dette er Peter Bugges nyoversættelse af Karel Čapeks berømte dystopiske roman fra 1936 der ikke har været oversat til dansk siden 1937. Denne nye udgave er tro mod det grafiske design fra den originale tjekkiske udgave men tilføjer også nye visuelle elementer og illustrationer.Den satiriske gennemgang af alle det moderne samfunds magtfaktorer er stadig relevante i dag. Ingen er sikre når salamandrene kommer!“I dag lever der på hele jordkloden cirka tyve milliarder civiliserede salamandre, altså cirka ti gange så mange som alle mennesker tilsammen; det fremgår deraf med biologisk nødvendighed og historisk logik, at salamandrene, som er undertrykt, må befri sig; at de, da de er homogene, må forene sig; og at de, når de så-ledes er blevet til den største magt, verden nogen sinde har set, nødvendigvis må overtage herredømmet over verden. Tror I, at de er så tåbelige, at de så vil skåne mennesket?”Uddrag fra Wolf Meynerts værk: ”Untergang der Menschheit”.

    In May 2010, US scientists succeeded in creating the first self-replicating synthetic life. The advance has been hailed as a scientific landmark, but critics say there are dangers posed by synthetic organisms. In 1920, Karel Capek predicted this exact scenario in his prescient Rossum Universal Robots (R.U.R.) Predating Huxely's Brave New World by two decades, R.U.R. claims the same footing in history as the earliest masterpiece that depicts the decline of Homo Sapiens and their replacement by the Post Humans. Karel Capek was the most famous author in the Czech Republic in the first half of the 20th century. His work widely translated and still inspires story tellers and movie directors the world over. R.U.R inspired Spielberg' A.I., Will Smith' I Robot and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator series, among others. "Capek's play is immortal for that one word it contributed, 'Robot', not only to English but, through English, to all the languages." Isaac Asimov

R.U.R. is a science fiction play in the Czech language by Karel Capek. R.U.R. stands for Rossum's Universal Robots, an English phrase used as the subtitle in the Czech original. It premiered in 1921 and introduced the word "robot" to the English language and to science fiction as a whole.The play begins in a factory that makes artificial people called "robots". Unlike the modern usage of the term, these creatures are closer to the modern idea of androids or even clones, as they can be mistaken for humans and can think for themselves. They seem happy to work for humans, although that changes and a hostile robot rebellion leads to the extinction of the human race. After finishing the manuscript, Capek realized that he had created a modern version of the Jewish Golem legend. He later took a different approach to the same theme in War with the Newts, in which non-humans become a servant class in human society. R.U.R is dark but not without hope, and was successful in its day in both Europe and the United States.

  • - Robots Universales Rossum
    af Karel Capek
    113,95 kr.

    R.U.R. es una obra teatral escrita en 1921 y estrenada ese mismo año en Praga y en 1922 en Nueva York, cosechando un éxito mundial. Una de las obras claves de la ciencia ficción moderna, no sólo introdujo el término "robot" en el lenguaje popular, sino que además explora las diversas vertientes entre los hombres y sus creaciones artificiales. Aunque los robots de Capek están más cerca de nuestra actual definición de cyborg, o incluso de clones, son en el fondo unas simples máquinas diseñadas para servir, pero no para pensar. Aunque felices de vivir en su particular Utopía, pronto los robots se rebelarán contra la humanidad buscando convertirse en aquello que son sus creadores. * Karel Capek (1890-1938) fue uno de los principales escritores checos del periodo de entreguerras. Autor teatral, novelista y periodista, escribió varios clásicos de la ciencia ficción y la literatura especulativa, como "R.U.R.", "La Fábrica del Absoluto" o "La Guerra de las Salamandras".

    R.U.R. is a 1920 science fiction play in the Czech language by Karel Capek. It quickly became famous and was influential early in the history of its publication. The play begins in a factory that makes artificial people, called roboti, out of synthetic organic matter. They are not exactly robots by the current definition of the term; these creatures are closer to the modern idea of cyborgs or even clones, as they may be mistaken for humans and can think for themselves. They seem happy to work for humans at first, but that changes, and a hostile robot rebellion leads to the extinction of the human race.

    Válka s mloky is a 1936 satirical science fiction novel by Czech author Karel Capek. It concerns the discovery in the Pacific of a sea-dwelling race, an intelligent breed of newts, who are initially enslaved and exploited. They acquire human knowledge and rebel, leading to a global war for supremacy. The book is a dark satire, poking fun extensively at the contemporary European politics, including colonialism, fascism and Nazism, segregation in America, and the arms race. A notable satirical point is the mentioned research of a German scientist who has determined that the German Newts are actually a superior Nordic race, and that as such they have a right to expand their living space at the expense of the inferior breeds of Newts.

    Selvom Tjekkiets mest oversatte forfatter, Karel Čapek, skrev sine noveller i den første halvdel af det 20. århundrede, er historierne fortsat aktuelle. Endnu hundrede år efter de blev skrevet, har de ikke mistet noget af deres læseværdighed. “Kriminalhistorier” er en samling af korte historier, hvor forfatteren reflekterer over spørgsmål som lov og ret, godt og ondt, forbrydelse og straf. Historiernes helte er politikommissærer, agenter og gendarmer, men også kriminelle, ægteskabssvindlere eller fanatiske samlere. Čapek er ikke kun en stor fortæller, men også mester i paradokser, som på en kultiveret måde og med indsigt og humor beskriver sine helte og fører læseren gennem historierne. Čapeks detektivhistorier blev i første omgang publiceret periodevis i et magasin i 1929 og udkom senere som to bøger, henholdsvis med titlen “Historier fra den ene lomme” og “Historier fra den anden lomme”. Novellerne hører til den moderne tjekkiske prosas perler, som i dag tæller blandt klassikerne. Novellerne er oversat til utallige sprog og er i flere omgange blevet filmatiseret. “Kriminalhistorier” er et udvalg af de bedste historier fra begge bøger. En bog, som du ikke vil kunne lægge fra dig og vil læse igen og igen.

    'War with the Newts' 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.
