The complete version of Talking about a dog and a cat performed by actors from Dejvice Theatre
That was back then, when the dog and the cat were farming together and wanted to do everything the way big people do it: Washing the dirty floor, baking a cake, going for a walk on Sunday, writing a letter or doing theatre. But because they are not human, things don't always turn out the way they would like - but their peculiar solutions are always amusing and original. In some of the stories, the dog and cat also visit Mr Čapek, with whom they talk about "serious things" and help him write stories for children.
The text is based on the critical edition of Josef Čapek's writings and, in addition to nine classic stories, it also includes the story How the dog and the cat celebrated 28 October, which was deleted after 1948 for political reasons. Instead of Čapek's well-known pictures, the audiobook is accompanied by illustrations by the art duo Tomski&Polanski, who have conceived their current version as a tribute to the author.
