Biography Czech science fiction writer Karel Čapek was born on January 9, 1890 in the resort town of Male Svatonevice. Soon the boy's family moved to Upice. In 1901-1905, Čapek attended a local gymnasium. While studying there, he published his first works in the city newspaper: "Fairy Stories" and "Simple Motives". After graduating from the gymnasium, the young man moved to Brno, and then to Prague. In the capital, he entered Charles University, from which he successfully graduated in 1915, receiving a PhD.

The beginning of creative activity During his student years, together with his brother Josef, Čapek wrote many short stories. He also actively participated in the publication of the literary collection Almanac (1914). After graduating from university, Čapek worked as a tutor for a while. In 1916, he managed to publish the first part of the stories written in collaboration with his brother. They were included in the collection "Shining Depths", and two years later "The Garden of the Krakonosh" was published.

Since then, Čapek began to build a career as a journalist. At first he wrote for the National Newspaper, and starting in 1921 he got a job at the Narodnaya Gazeta, where he continued to work until the end of his life.

The main idea of Čapek's works Although the works of the Czech writer are quite seriously different from modern ones, Čapek in his play analyzes serious problems that have appeared or may one day become relevant in the development of robotics. First of all, it is necessary to note the different motives that drive people when creating robots. Today, many of the most complex and amazing robots are created just to prove something. To prove that it is possible, to prove that it is achievable. Also in Čapek's play, such a motive was the main thing when creating "robots", first of all, imitation of nature, and not their replacement of a person. First he tried to make an artificial dog. It took several years to do this, and the result was something like an ugly deer that died a few days later. After that, he proceeded to create a humanoid creature.
