Prague - The villa of the famous writer Karel Čapek in Prague's Vinohrady is available for 49 million crowns. Relatives of brothers Josef and Karel Čapek are offering it through a real estate agency. The state reportedly does not want to buy the house, where the elite of Czech intellectuals once gathered. Included is Karel Čapek's study, all archival materials such as manuscripts, photographs, a library, and furniture, according to the advertisement. According to Týden, it is unknown why the owners are selling the villa in Vinohrady. "The owner does not want to comment on this; on the contrary, he wanted to avoid such attention," said real estate agent Michal Kosek to the server. The offered property also includes a plot with a garden, which features a greenhouse and items from travels. Čapek was one of the greatest Czech writers and publicists of the 20th century. His books are published all over the world today. Čapek's creative range was wide - from poetry to journalism, prose, drama, travelogues, fairy tales, to political and philosophical reflections. His new term "robot" has been adopted in many languages.
