A new and unexpurgated translation of a classic Czech comic novel: Svejk is Everyman caught up in the bureaucratic cogwheels of the First World War. His own brand of resistance against tyranny makes him a national hero: he acts the fool and makes authority look foolish. The author points up the absurdities brought about by the collapse of the Hapsburg Empire and rejoices in the capacity of the individual to survive, live off his wits and mock pomposity.
