The world-famous novel and the peak of Czech writer Jaroslav Hašek’s work.
A small, ridiculous little man in a shabby coat and broken-down boots strides briskly along the war roads from one ridiculous adventure to another—an even more ridiculous one. It’s impossible not to laugh and impossible not to think. Because very often, through the exuberant humor of a garrison anecdote, the true essence of “The Soldier Švejk” peeks through—a desperate and powerful call to “put down your weapons and think.”
