Jaroslav Hašek - The Good Soldier Švejk and his Fortunes in the World War
Penguin Modern Classics, 1985
Cover Artist: Josef Lada
Here, with all its blasphemy and bawdiness restored, is the immortal tale of the good-hearted garrulous progress of the only loyal Czech in the Austrian army of 1914. Enmeshed in red tape, chivvied by police, doctors, clergy and officers, and ever obliging, the good soldier (once discharged as an idiot) ploughs his irresistible furrow towards the crowning moment when he is captured by his own troops.
Contains 156 of the original illustrations by Hašek's friend, Josef Lada.
