The Adventures of the Brave Soldier Schweik

The Adventures of the Brave Soldier Schweik

Jaroslav Hašek (1883–1923) — a writer of immense talent, restless nature, and complex fate, a prankster and adventurer. His work «The Adventures of the Brave Soldier Schweik» is the most popular piece of Czech literature, translated into almost every language... in the world. A great, original, and mischievous novel. A book that can be perceived both as a «soldier's tale» and as a classic work directly related to the traditions of the Renaissance. It is a text that makes you laugh to tears, a powerful call to «lay down arms», and moreover — one of the most objective historical testimonies in satirical literature. It is no wonder that the Nazis included «The Adventures of the Brave Soldier Schweik» in the list of books to be burned. This edition collects all of Hašek's works, with the brave soldier Schweik as the main character: the famous unfinished novel, a story, and a cycle of tales.
