The good soldier Svejk / Jaroslav Hašek ; translated with an introduction by Cecil Parrott. by Hašek, Jaroslav, 1883-1923. Penguin, 2005. Call #: FICTION HAS Subjects World War, 1914-1918 -- Fiction.   Soldiers -- Fiction.   Czechoslovakia -- Fiction. Series Penguin classics. ISBN:  9780140449914 (trade pbk.) Edition:  1st ed.

Summary:  Good-natured and garrulous, Svejk becomes the Austrian army's most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of World War I - although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it. Playing cards and getting drunk, he uses all his cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the police, clergy, and officers who chivy him toward battle.

Historical fiction. Satire. Czech fiction -- Translations into English. Other authors:  Parrott, Cecil, 1909-1984.
