An attack on war which broadens into a satire on the ANCIEN REGIME of the Austro-Hungarian empire, THE GOOD SOLDIER SVEJK recreates the age-old figure of the simple soldier whose sheer determination to survive brings into question the mighty social and political institutions he confronts.

Set in a Central Europe which has long since vanished, Hasek''s novel is nevertheless a timeless portrait of the ''little man'' doughtily waging his own war against authority
