Descriere magazin:
Jaroslav Hasek\'s black satire, the inspiration for such works as Joseph Heller\'s Catch-22 Good-natured and garrulous, Svejk becomes the Austro-Hungarian army\'s most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of the First World War - although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it. Playing cards, getting drunk and becoming a general nuisance, the resourceful Svejk uses all his natural cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the doctors, police, clergy and officers who chivvy him towards battle. The story of a \'little man\' caught in a vast bureaucratic machine, The Good Soldier Svejk combines dazzling wordplay and piercing satire to create a hilariously subversive depiction of the futility of war. Cecil Parrott\'s vibrant, unabridged and unbowdlerized translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing Hasek\'s turbulent life as an anarchist, communist and vagranty, and the Everyman character of Svejk. This edition also includes a guide to Czech names, maps and original illustrations by Josef Ladas.
