Brothers Čapek

The Brothers Čapek were Josef and Karel Čapek, Czech writers who sometimes wrote together.

They are commemorated both for their literary/artistic works and political activism against oppressive government.

Their house is now a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, and there are various memorials to them.

Their most famous joint work is the play Pictures from the Insects' Life, a humorous political allegory.
