| Capek's glorious fairy tales contain all sorts of supernatural beings, fairies, elves, and talking animals, their plots stem from folk traditions where the innocent triumph. At the same time, Capek infuses these tales with dazzling wordplay, an abundant sense of the absurd, and surprising futuristic twists. Fact and imagination, satire and fantasy are blended so skilfully that the line between logic and plausible nonsense is nearly indistinguishable. |
