The Good Soldier Švejk (EN)

Too old, too fat, too drunk Švejk really shouldnt be in the army at all. And it doesnt take long before his superiors wish he wasnt ... Officially certified as an idiot, the cunning but good-natured innocent wreaks glorious havoc and leaves confusion in his wake. And at the same time, he brilliantly exposes the hypocrisy, horror and absurdity of war. The Good Soldier Švejk is the forerunner and inspiration for every anti-war book since its first publication in 1923. This classic translation, newly adapted, brings the man and his world freshly to life; and shows that some things never change.
