I think this is what you want:

Toward the Radical Center: A Karel Capek Reader (Paperback)
http://www.amazon.com/Toward-Radical-Center-Karel-Reader/dp/0945774079/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257725827&sr=1-10

Not clear, but it may also appear in this collection:

http://www.amazon.com/Capek-Four-Plays-Karel/dp/0413771903/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257725827&sr=1-4


>A question - have you actually read Capek's original, or are you 
>just quoting it because Bernard Williams essay named after it is a 
>famous philosophical treatment of immortality?
