The book “Stories from the Second Pocket” by Karel Čapek (1890-1938), like the collection “Stories from One Pocket”, contains interesting stories in which the writer tries to understand the mystery of human nature, the contradictions of his behaviour, and deep psychological processes. Thematically, this collection is broader than the previous one. In addition to exploring the motivation for the crime, Chapek reflects on the greatness of love, the importance of friendship, the mystery of women, the power of their feelings, the beauty and uniqueness of human life. The stories are characterised by sincere tone and wit and are easy to read.
