Abstract. I offer readers three stories by Karel Capek (1890-1938), one of the most famous Czech writers. The work of Karel Capek covers almost all literary genres. He wrote feuilletons and essays, short stories and fairy tales, novels, translated poems by European authors into Czech. But he is best known as a satirist, playwright, and author of social fiction. He created a unique genre of micro-detective, in which satire on various phenomena of reality is organically intertwined.
