520    Originally written in 1936, two years before Capek's death
       and three years before the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia,
       War with the Newts is considered by many to be Capek's 
       greatest book. Working in the "fantastic" satiric 
       tradition of Wells, Orwell, and Vonnegut, Capek chronicles
       the discovery of a colony of highly intelligent giant 
       salamanders off the coast of an Indonesian island. Capek 
       sardonically details all the reactions of the civilized 
       world - from horror to skepticism, from intellectual 
       fascination to mercantile opportunism - and the ultimate 
       destruction from which it (and the newts) might not 
       escape.
