About this product

Product Information

The Good Soldier Svejk, written in the aftermath of World War I by Czech humorist Jaroslav Hasek (1883-1923), stands as the classic satiric portrait of a little man waging war against authority. The unassuming and affable Svejk, having been called to serve in the Austro-Hungarian army at the start of the Great War, shrewdly plays the bumbling fool and makes a genial nuisance of himself, managing to avoid ever reaching the front while appearing loyally determined to do so. Possessed of an unerring talent for finding himself in (and extricating himself from) the most chaotic and absurd situations, Svejk represents, in his instinct for survival, all those human values that stand opposed to the utter futility of warfare. Hasek's novel, inspired by the author's own wartime escapades, has entertained readers in more than fifty languages for nearly a century and has come to define the spirit of comic endurance necessary to withstand the manglings of a modern-day bureaucratic war machine. This hardcover edition, translated and introduced by Cecil Parrott, is lavishly illustrated with 156 drawings by Hasek's friend and colleague, the Czech cartoonist Josef Lada, and includes maps, a guide to pronouncing Czech names, a bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    cynical, poignant, hilarious, and a great view of the military world

    This book, written during and after World War One, offers a raucous, lowbrow but very funny humor as Hašek pokes fun at the Austrian military. His comments, however, offer a broader swath as they certainly apply to many many wars and the pointlessness and futility, even the idiocy of the entire process. I laughed out loud all the way through. Švejk is a masterpiece, both the character and the book. And the accompanying drawings are wonderful as well, even if they may not depict Švejk in the way Hašek saw him. Highly recommended.
