Przygody Dobrego Wojaka Szwejka by Jaroslav Hašek
za světové války
A picaresque, darkly comic tale that follows an apparently simple-minded but oddly resourceful Czech soldier as he bumbles through the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I, encountering absurd officers, ridiculous regulations and chaotic military bureaucracy; through a string of episodic misadventures his naïveté and stubborn literalism expose the incompetence, hypocrisy and futility of war while delivering sharp social satire and affectionate portraiture of ordinary people caught in institutional chaos.
