The War with the Newts

Karel Capek

A satirical science fiction novel, War with the Newts is a thought-provoking tale that explores themes of exploitation and rebellion. The book follows the discovery of an intelligent breed of newts and their subsequent enslavement, acquisition of human knowledge, and eventual rebellion. With similarities to the author's previous work, R.U.R., the novel delves into the tensions between humans and the newts, paving the way for a global war for supremacy.
