"Human beings are dangerously capricious apes whom only their own shameless arrogance has tried to make out the lords of creation."

BarbaraBB Interesting you are reading this. I am related to him and have never heard of anyone reading him! My mother‘s maiden name is Nesvadba 1y
Bookwomble @BarbaraBB 🤯 How fantastic, Barbara! 😃 He has one story in the anthology collection I'm reading, and it's an interesting one. Only a few of his stories were translated into English, but there was a book of his short stories published in the '70s that I thought I might try to track down 😊 1y
Dilara That's gone into my wishlist on LT! I hadn't heard of him before, and SFF authors in languages other than English is a pet project of mine... 1y
Bookwomble @Dilara This is the only story by Nesvsdba I've read, and I liked it. CW for the instance of a racial slur that's not entirely unexpected for the time of writing and in keeping, actually, with the aristocratic character which uses it, but still jarring to see on the page. 1y
Dilara @Bookwomble Thank you for the warning! 1y
