This is an automatically translated description

The satirical novel by the prominent Czech writer Jaroslav Hasek covers the events in Austria-Hungary on the eve of and during the First World War. At the centre of the work is the extraordinary image of the soldier Schweik, a carrier of folk humour and common sense, who undergoes many comic adventures. The work expresses with great artistic power the protest of an ordinary person against war and violence. Stepan Masliak's translation is a gem of Ukrainian literature. Many years of active reprinting of this translation is explained by its quality and professionalism, as well as by the great love of readers for the Ukrainian Schweik.
