 | Corrida - Karel Capek "And once again the corrida unfolds itself in all its dazzling beauty and horror, like a haunting dream." An illustration from the book "Letters From Spain" written and illustrated by Karel Capek, translated by Paul Selver, published by George Bles, London, 1931. Capek, (1890-1938), the Czech writer best known for his plays, wrote a number of travel books in an amused and urbane style which suffused his accompanying drawings as well. He invented the word 'robot'. Number of Votes: 1 Rating: 10.00  Rate this image Comments: 0 Write a comment |
