#38: The year is 1936 and we're back to our beloved Czech author Karel Capek. This is a much grimmer end of the world when compared to his 1922 novel THE ABSOLUTE AT LARGE. While both novels address the danger of voracious human consumption, this one digs much deeper into the horrors of colonialism, and the exploitation of "the Other". There are no good guys here, but there are no mustache twirling villains either, and Capek gets to the heart of so many of the current dangers that threaten humanity.
 
Although, who was Bondy in real life and what axe did Capek have to grind with him???
