Описание:

Hailed as one of the greatest works of 20^th century literature (Boston Globe) and frequently compared to Catch-22, Jaroslav Haseks comic masterpiece follows a WWI soldiers quixotic journey to the front lines--now available from Harper Perennial Modern Classics.

Rich and ranging, endlessly inventive.... The predicaments of Svejk in an absurd world still continue. And the laughter echoes. --Los Angeles Times

The Good Soldier Svejk follows Josef Svejk (one of the great characters of 20^th century literature--New Republic), a boisterous and sometimes bumbling (or brilliantly subversive?) Czech soldier, through the trials of World War I. Beginning with the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914, we follow one of the great comic heroes of the 20^th century on a wild trip through war-ravaged Europe, as he fakes illnesses, is captured by his own men, and embarks on various quixotic quests, always with a bizarre--and often hilarious--anecdote at the ready. Predating countercultural American classics like Catch-22 (whose defining paradox about the insanity of anyone who would volunteer for war is liberally adapted from Svejks own invocation The best thing you can do... is pretend to be an idiot) by a generation, The Good Soldier Svejk was one of the first anti-war satires, and still one of the finest ever written.

Featuring Cecil Parrotts lively, unabridged translation, as well as the books original illustrations, this will be the definitive publication of Haseks masterpiece for years to come.

Continues to have an astonishing afterlife. ... The Good Soldier Svejk is commonly cited as an ancestor of Joseph Hellers Catch-22 and many other anti-war novels. ... The novels continued resonance suggests how deep a nerve Hasek touched. His comic hero highlights the illogic of war so brilliantly that Svejks character has been absorbed into Western culture, speaking to many generations and their different wars.-- New York Times
