Description
A completely new collected edition of stories by the leading Czech humorist Jaroslav Hašek, which will be published on the occasion of the anniversary of one hundred and forty years since his birth and one hundred years since his death. The anthology contains thirty-six of Hašek's most significant stories arranged chronologically by their publication date. Although this is only a mere fraction of the author's short story oeuvre, this selection will introduce readers to the satirist's key themes: mockery of bureaucracy and official (often police or military) machinery, as well as criticism of both church and state authority. The well-known author of The Good Soldier Švejk thus returns with a reminder of the great stories he was capable of writing.
