Paperback. Zustand: Very good. French's Standard Library Edition. 217pp. Duodecimo [19 cm] Tan wraps lettered and illustrated in dark brown. The wraps are a bit rubbed and creased, the foot of the spine is chipped (with minor loss), and the text block is just barely starting to come away from the spine at the foot. The half title has a small loss from the bottom fore-edge corner, and there is a corresponding darkened patch to the bottom fore-edge corner of the title page. The Theatre Guild version, with four illustrations from photographs of the Theatre Guild production. French's Standard Library edition of this play that popularized the word "Robot." According to the famed speculative fiction bibliographer E. F. Bleiler, "the present-day reader's interest in the play centers on Capek's creation of the robot. Taken from the Czech word 'robota', meaning "forced labor," the word "robot" was invented by Josef Capek, and it has come to have a far more precise meaning than either brother can have intended. In the play the robots are not mechanical, metallic creatures, but are instead androids - living, organic simulacra - indistinguishable at first (and second) glance from humans. Capek's robots represent, at times rather loosely and inconsistently, a complex or symbolic meanings: the threatening aspects of the industrial dehumanization of the work force, as well as the pathos that surrounds the victims of rationalization and the assembly line. Through this ambivalence, which is not always convincing in its mixture of reductive caricature and sentimental special pleading, the image of the robot represents the logical outcome, for the helpless masses, of living and working in a world where human autonomy is not only superfluous but also directly counterproductive." Bleiler p.585. A scarce Russian-language translation of Capek's seminal work.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. None (illustrator). First edition. A smart copy of the first UK edition of Karel Capek's science-fiction play. An important work of twentieth century science fiction, remarkable for introducing the word 'robot' to modern language. The first UK edition; translated into English in the same year in a US edition published by Doubleday. These two adaptations differ.First performed in the original Czech in 1921, the work quickly became influential, and by 1923 had been translated into thirty languages.Capek coined the word 'robot' in the play, based on the Czech word 'robota', or 'forced labor'.With blank paper mounted to the verso of the title page, covering the cast list of the first UK performance; this was done by the publishers to the first edition for copyright reasons.With the inscription of Percy Clark, dated June 1923, to the head of the title page.Single advertisement leaf to the rear.A very smart copy of a first edition of this important work of science fiction, set in a factory that makes artificial people that have been created from synthetic organ matter. Initially happy to work for humans, the robots revolt and cause the extinction of the human race. Rebacked in cloth, retaining the publisher's original paper wraps. Fading to back strip, with minor closed tear to fore edge of rear wrap. Head of front wrap detaching from title page at margin, but holding firm. Internally, firmly bound. Inscription to title page head. Blank sheet pasted over cast list to verso of title page. Pages clean and bright. Very Good. book.
