"The Good Soldier Švejk "

Post by Gani Sh »

if you want to enjoy a classic, i would recommend "The Good Soldier Švejk " by Jaroslav Hašek. Once you start, you would not want to put it down. You will see how a common man mocks the Austro-Hungarian empire and of course the so called the Great War, or World War !.

The first time I read this book, as a teenager, I could not see the point. So I put it down without finishing it. Now I see it as one of the great books. The character of Svejk is straight out of folklore. He is the foolish man who somehow kills the giant, gets the princess and claims the gold. Except that here is no fairy tale, but a story of war and a story of bureaucrats and officialdom.
