Story
Soubor humorně laděných fejetonů od mistra české literatury přináší úsměvná pozorování a historky ze života zahrádkářů a zahradníků. Dozvíme se o radostech i starostech, které jim práce na zahrádce během celého roku přináší, a z textu poznáme, že autor byl sám náruživým opečovávatelem zahrádky i českého jazyka. Audiokniha potěší milovníky zahrádek bystrými postřehy a objevnými pohledy na věci zdánlivě všední a dobře známé. Zahradníkovým rokem provází příjemný hlas Kateřiny Winterové.

Story
R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) is a science-fiction drama that was first presented in Czech in 1921. It introduced the term "robot", which is derived from a Czech word meaning "worker," to international vocabulary. The action opens in a factory that has successfully produced thousands of robots, who are essentially mindless drones. An idealistic humanitarian activist launches a plan to imbue some of the robots with human traits. The robots which have been humanized then assume leadership over the other robots and seek to organize them in a revolution to take over the world.

Story
The initials stand for Rossum's Universal Robots. This Czech play, first produced in 1921, introduced the word "robot" into the world lexicon. The Rossum factory robots are so human that a well-meaning beauty travels to R.U.R.'s island headquarters to liberate them. She ends up fomenting more revolution than the human race can handle.

Story
Cette guerre inventée entre l'homme et l'animal c'est, en 1936, tout ce que le monde embrase : le nazisme, l'antisémitisme, la croyance dans le progrès ; ce livre brosse avec humour une satire des hommes et de leur société. Mêlant la parodie au fantastique, à la fois roman et conte philosophique, il se révèle, sous une apparente légèreté, extrêmement lucide et sombre. Étonnamment perspicace quant au devenir de l'Europe quelques années plus tard, "La Guerre des Salamandres" anticipe également les problèmes écologiques.

Story
Zufällig entdeckt Kapitän van Toch auf einer Südsee-Insel intelligente Riesenmolche. Er zivilisiert sie und lässt sie Perlen fischen, die er gewinnbringend verkauft. Als van Toch stirbt, wittern seine Geschäftspartner in den Tieren ein Riesengeschäft. Doch als sie erkennen, dass sie als billige Arbeitskräfte missbraucht werden, rebellieren die Molche gegen ihre Ausbeuter. Ein Krieg um die Weltherrschaft beginnt. Der 1936 erstmals erschienene Roman des tschechischen Schriftstellers Karel Čapek ist nicht nur ein satirischer Science- Fiction-Roman, sondern auch eine Warnung vor dem aufstrebenden Faschismus am Vorabend des Zweiten Weltkriegs.

Story
"Heute, am 30. März, um 10 Uhr vormittags, öffnete sich hinter meinem Rücken die erste Blüte des Goldbechers. Drei Tage bewachte ich seine größte Knospe, die einer kleinen goldenen Hülse ähnelt, um nur ja diesen historischen Augenblick nicht zu versäumen; er trat ein, während ich zum Himmel hinaufsah, ob es regnen werde." Karel Čapek (1890 – 1938), seinerzeit der beliebteste und auflagenstärkste tschechische Autor, legt einen zeitlosen humorvollen Führer durch das Gartenjahr vor – für Hobbygärtner, solche, die es werden wollen – und solche, die sich ein wenig über Gärtner amüsieren wollen.
