War with the Newts was Čapek's last and most famous work. Written in 1936, its brilliant moral and political satire influenced George Orwell's Animal Farm. Its fabulous amalgam of grace, wit, philosophical subtlety, and surrealistic comedy recalls the work of Čapek's countrymen, Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Hasek. As Hitler's armies prepared to take over Czechoslovakia, Čapek's newts prepared human civilization for a fantastic danse macabre.
