Todor Pavlov belongs to those creative personalities who, with their fruitful activity, open up new horizons for scientific thought. That is why they attract and will attract the attention of both contemporaries and future generations, of all who strive to become related to the great creative individuality - who has seen truths, the knowledge of which enriches man, pushes him towards new quests, towards an ever greater tension of thought and of the will to master the laws of society and nature. The fascination of such people increases immeasurably when the penetrating thought is carried by a great human heart, when their scientific knowledge is combined with highly humane moral principles.

Taking his place among the greatest humanist writers of the 20th century, Karel Čapek is still insufficiently studied. European educated and gifted with a flexible analytical mind, this "terrible child" of Slavism from the lineage of the great French rationalists-mockers often escapes the literary criticism cutter, mainly due to the deceptive simplicity of his artistic manner. Everything is supposedly in order: the images - images, albeit slightly caricatured, the plots - plots with all their criminal twists, the language - emphatically pure and clear, and then, as if out of nowhere, you are grabbed by an insidious subtext that makes you "suspicious" of the author's real intentions. The mystery "what exactly does he want to tell us", which in turn arises in each of his works, is even more intensified by his undetermined, albeit generally humane political position. If we add the aesthetic diversity of Čapek's work, it will become clear why so many contradictory opinions, misunderstandings, and even erroneous opinions have accumulated around him.
