A CAPEK OMNIBUS
THREE NOVELS. By Karel Capek. Allen and Unwin. English price, 12/6. ‘THE publishing trade in England would appear to be in a healthy ‘state in that it can continue to reprint Karel Capek’s novels. Three Novels, an omnibus volume translated by M. and R. Weatherall, contains Hordubal, An Ordinary Life and "Wleteor. _ The first, a story of Slav peasants, has a certain strength which arises from the author’s straightforward treatment of his subject. Meteor is a rather forced fantasy, and An Ordinary Life would appear to strengthen the case of those who hold that Capek’s literary achievements lay in his work as a dramatist and essayist.
