Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Presented here in a stunning hardcover edition, The Good Soldier Svejk, written in the aftermath of World War I by Czech humorist Jaroslav Hasek (18831923), 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. Haseks novel, inspired by the authors 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 Haseks friend and colleague, the Czech cartoonist Josef Lada, and includes maps, a guide to pronouncing Czech names, a bibliography, and a chronology of the authors 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. Translates the iconoclastic Czech's classic satire depicting the adventures of a soldier during the First World War. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
