The Good Soldier Švejk

Jaroslav Hašek’s world famous satirical farce The Good Soldier Švejk has been translated into over sixty languages, and is one of the best known Czech works ever published. A soldier in the First World War who never actually sees any combat, Josef Švejk is The Good Soldier’s awkward protagonist – and none of the other characters can quite decide whether his bumbling efforts to get to the front are genuine or not. Often portrayed as one of the first anti war novels, Hašek’s classic satire is a tour de force of modernist writing, influencing later writers such as Hemingway, Faulkner, and Joseph Heller.
