Story
The Good Soldier Švejk, written shortly after the First World War, is one of the great antiwar satires - and one of the funniest books of the 20th (or any) century. In creating his eponymous hero, Jaroslav Hašek produced an unforgettable character who charms and infuriates and bamboozles his way through the conflagration that tore through the heart of Europe, upending empires and changing social history. It is the closing period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The assassination at Sarajevo has just occurred and armies are on the march.

Story
A soldier in the First World War who never actually sees any combat, Josef Švejk is the awkward protagonist - and none of the other characters can quite decide whether his bumbling efforts to get to the front are genuine or not. Often portrayed as one of the first anti-war novels, Hašek's classic satire is a tour-de-force of modernist writing, influencing later writers such as Hemingway, Faulkner and Joseph Heller.

Story
The rollicking humorous ribald story of soldiers in World War I carrying on and living and dying in war, worthy of Catch-22 fame. Translated from German into modern American English with a simplification of place names, as well as people's names, to not distract the American listener from unfamiliar names and places and stay focused on the story itself.

Story
This tale charts the exploits during the First World War of ‘European Forrest Gump’ Svejk, in his progress through the ranks of the Austro-Hungarian army. Good-natured and garrulous, Svejk becomes the Austrian army’s most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of the First World War - although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it.

Story
Good-natured and garrulous, Švejk becomes the Austro-Hungarian army's most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of the First World War - although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it. This story of a "little man" caught in a vast bureaucratic machine combines dazzling wordplay and piercing satire to create a hilariously subversive depiction of the futility of war. Please note: This audiobook is in Russian.

Story
Mit dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges wird der Prager Soldat Schwejk amtsärztlich für schwachsinnig erklärt. Ist er tatsächlich der Idiot, für den ihn alle halten? Oder ist er ein Simulant und ein Schelm? Statt in den Krieg zu ziehen, landet Schwejk vor Gericht, im Irrenhaus und schließlich im Garnisonsgefängnis. Mit seiner kindlichen Unschuldsmiene und seiner unerschütterlichen Gelassenheit treibt Schwejk sämtliche Offiziere und Richter zur Weißglut.

Story
2. Teil. Im Zug von Prag nach Budweis betätigt Schwejk die Notbremse. In Tábor versäumt er den Zug, vertrinkt sein Fahrgeld und muss daher zu Fuß nach Budweis laufen. Auf diesem Fußmarsch, "Schwejks Budweiser Anabasis", gelangt er nach einigen Abenteuern nach Putim, wo er von einem Wachtmeister für einen Spion gehalten wird. Von einem schwer betrunkenen Postenführer wird Schwejk beim Rittmeister in Písek abgeliefert, der ihn zu seinem Regiment nach Budweis zurückschickt.

Story
Noch bevor der brave Soldat Schwejk in den Weltkrieg zog, versetzte er das österreichische Militär in Schrecken - nicht durch Widerstand, sondern durch allzu gutmütige Befolgung der Befehle. Man fürchtet sich vor ihm, weil er sich nicht fürchtet. Aber auch auf die Lebensbereiche Familie und Verbrechen wirft Hasek einen sehr satirischen Blick.

Story
Hasek schrieb seinen Roman als Tscheche, während seine Nation in der k.u.k. Donau-Monarchie politisch und kulturell unterdrückt war. Die "Schlitzohrigkeit" des Schwejk und die dem Buch innewohnende Ironie zeigen, dass das Volk letztlich über allen aufgeblasenen Pomp triumphiert und Menschlichkeit den Sieg davonträgt.
