Overview

Capek's short stories are entitled in the manner, typical of his humor: "The stories from one pocket" and "The stories from the other pocket".We have chosen for translation some stories of the first type. Some of them may refer to detective ones: "Professor Rouss's experiment", "Coupon". In the first story professor helps the police to make the criminal confess in the crime with the help of the word-game by association. In the second a simple receipt from the shop allowed to find the murderer. Other stories "The lost letter" and "The traces" are not connected with crimes but contain some elements of detective character. In "The Traces" the heroes are represented as very inquisitive and interesting characters.The rest of the stories are merely entertaining: "Obvious proof", "The secret of handwriting", "Record".Readers follow the dialogues of the heroes with captivating interest and enjoy sometimes quite comical situations.
