Hordubal (1933) is a novel by Czech writer Karel Čapek. Based on a true account published in the newspaper Lidove noviny where the author was a regular contributor, the story is ultimately concerned with the essential unknowability of the inner lives of others, and the impossibility of true communication among men. It is the first in a trilogy of what are known as Capek's "noetic novels," the other two being Meteor (1934) and An Ordinary Life (1934).
