About this listen

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. Playing cards, getting drunk, and becoming a general nuisance, the resourceful Švejk uses all his natural cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the doctors, police, clergy, and officers who chivvy him towards battle. The story of a "little man" caught in a vast bureaucratic machine, The Good Soldier Švejk combines dazzling wordplay and piercing satire to create a hilariously subversive depiction of the futility of war.

Please note: This audiobook is in Russian.

A necessary reading in a trying times

This book gives us an insight into the last years of a dying leviathan - the Austro-Hungarian empire. Shown from the eyes of the Eastern European Forest Gump, the reading is fun, easy, and terrifying at the same time. Always actual, because "those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
