Karel Čapek () ( January 9, 1890 – December 25, 1938 ) was a Czech writer of the 20th century.

Karel Čapek refused to leave his country – despite the fact that the Nazi Gestapo had named him Czechoslovakia's " public enemy number two.

" Though he suffered all his life from the condition spondyloarthritis, Karel Čapek died of double pneumonia on December 25, 1938 shortly after part of Czechoslovakia was annexed by Nazi Germany following the so-called Munich Agreement.

In 2009 ( 70 years after his death ), a book was published containing extensive correspondence by Karel Čapek, in which the writer discusses the subjects of pacifism and his conscientious objection to military service with lawyer Jindřich Groag from Brno.

Two main topics were of interest: the exploration of the Czech village and the extent to which it remained an oasis of good morals ( Jan Herben, Karel Václav Rais, Alois Mrštík ); and Prague, especially the life of the lower classes ( Ignát Herrman, Karel Matěj Čapek Chod ).

The war, however, also precipitated a crisis of values, of faith in progress, religion, and belief, which found outlet in expressionism ( Ladislav Klíma, Jakub Deml, Richard Weiner ), civilism ( Čapek brothers ) and visions of a universal brotherhood of mankind ( Ivan Olbracht, Karel Matěj Čapek Chod, F. X. Šalda ).

The avantgarde soon split, however, into the radical proletarian socialist and communist authors ( Wolker, Seifert, Neumann, Karel Teige, Antonín Matěj Píša, Hora, Jindřich Hořejší ), the Catholics ( Durych, Deml ), and to the centrists ( brothers Čapek, Dyk, Fischer, Šrámek, Langer, Jan Herben ).

Utopian and fantastic literature came into the forefront ( Jan Weiss, Karel Čapek, Eduard Bass, Jiří Haussmann ), as well as the genres of documentary prose, which sought to paint as accurate a picture of the world as possible ( Karel Čapek, Egon Erwin Kisch, Jiří Weil, Rudolf Těsnohlídek, Eduard Bass, Jaromír John, Karel Poláček ); lyrical, imaginative prose that allied itself with the poetic poetry of the time ( Karel Konrád, Jaroslav Jan Paulík, Vladislav Vančura ); and Catholically-oriented prose ( Jaroslav Durych, Jan Čep, Jakub Deml ).

The drama of the time also followed the same stylistic evolution as poetry and prose — expressionism, followed by a return to realistic, civilian theater ( František Langer, Karel Čapek ).

During this period, Karel Čapek wrote his most politically charged ( and well-known ) plays in response to the rise of fascist dictators.

While Karel Čapek's play introduced the word " robot " into languages around the globe but he later wrote a letter to the Oxford English Dictionary of etymology in which he named his brother, painter and writer Josef Čapek, as its true inventor.

He invented the word robot, which was introduced into literature by his brother, Karel Čapek.

Although the word " robot " was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his 1920 play R. U. R.

It is at least as old as Karel Čapek's R. U. R., which introduced the word robot to the global lexicon in 1921, and can even be glimpsed in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein ( published in 1818 ), as Victor ponders whether, if he grants his monster's request and makes him a wife, they would reproduce and their kind would destroy humanity.

The language is named after Karel Čapek, a Czech writer who introduced the word robot.

Karol Skowroński, renamed Karel Samuilovich Skavronsky, was created a Count of the Russian Empire on 5 January 1727 and made a Chamberlain of the Imperial Court ; he had married Maria Ivanovna, a Russian woman, by whom he had descendants who became extinct in the male line in 1793.

While a role for carbohydrates had been suspected, the link with wheat was not made until the 1940s by the Dutch paediatrician Dr. Willem Karel Dicke.

Among the friends he made here was the future Czech revolutionary poet Karel Havlíček, whose departure for Prague in 1838 may have influenced Smetana's own desire to experience life in the capital.

The stories were made into films in 1911 ( Les Aventures du baron de Münchhausen ), 1943 ( Münchhausen, script by Erich Kästner ), and 1961 ( Baron Prášil by director Karel Zeman ).

Later additions were made between 1893 and 1914 by the Czech architect Karel Liman, who designed the towers, including the main central tower, which is in height.

In a 2004 interview, the director was asked why he would elect to make a film " closer to a comedy than a serious film "; Karel replied that in the wake of having made serious documentaries, the objective was " de faire un film drôle " ( to make a funny film ).

The acclaimed Czech playwright Karel Capek ( 1890-1938 ) made the first use of the word ‘ robot ’, from the Czech word for forced labor or serf.
