Czech soldier, as he navigates the trials of World War I. Thrust into the Austro-Hungarian Empire's army in 1914, Svejk, \"one of the great characters of 20th century literature\" (New Republic), embarks on a wild trip through war-ravaged Europe as he fakes illnesses, is captured by his own men, and takes on various quixotic quests to avoid arriving at the front lines, always with a bizarre-and often hilarious-anecdote at the ready. Predating countercultural American classics like Catch-22 by a generation, The Good Soldier Svejk was the first great antiwar satire, and still one of the finest ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51527391248672,"sku":"NEW0062835440","price":11.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81HQ9iYNM8L.jpg?v=1777232837","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-good-soldier-svejk-and-his-fortunes-in-the-world-war-the-classic-black-humor-war-literature-comedy-that-defined-20th-century-antiwar-satire-0062835440","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
