“One of the greatest poets and dramatists of our century” (Observer) Schweyk in the Second World War transposes Hasek’s ‘good soldier’ – the soldier who uses his reputation for idiocy to avoid the frontline and whose crowning glory is to be captured by his own army – to the Prague of Hitler and Heydrich.
