Not much of a soldier, but still managed to rescue millions from boredom. Met you many years ago on shelf, fell in love and never looked back.

It’s almost as famous in Czech literature as Shakespeare.

Hasek was lazy, drunk, bigamist, communist & antisemite - today he would have been cancelled immediately.
For those who didn't read The good soldier Svejk - I envy you. reading it for the first time is a memorable experience.
