The good soldier Svejk and his fortunes in the World War
The good soldier Svejk and his fortunes in the World War
A new and unabridged translation of a classic Czech comic novel. Svejk is Everyman caught up in the bureaucratic cogwheels of the First World War. His own brand of resistance against tyranny makes him a national hero: he acts the fool and makes authority look foolish. The author rejoices in the capacity of the individual to survive, live off his wits and mock pomposity.
