Product details

Captain van Toch accidentally discovers intelligent giant salamanders on a South Sea island. He civilizes them and has them fish for pearls, which he sells for a profit. When van Toch dies, his business partners see a huge opportunity in the creatures. However, when they realize they are being exploited as cheap labor, the salamanders rebel against their oppressors. A war for world domination begins. The novel, first published in 1936 by Czech writer Karel Čapek, is not only a satirical science fiction story but also a warning against the rising fascism on the eve of World War II.
