The Travels of the Brave Soldier Schweik is the most popular work of Czech literature, translated into almost all languages of the world. A great, original and hooligan novel. It is equally a soldier's tale, full of absolutely inimitable folk slyness, and a classic work of literature of the XX century. The main plot of the novel is the collapse and disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, one of the oldest and most powerful monarchies in Europe. The time of action - World War I, the main character - Joseph Schweik. The novel is constructed as a chain of Schweik's adventures. In the adventures of Schweik there is no objectivity befitting historical novels, the colors are extremely thickened, but at the same time the novel is populated by living people: before the listener are representatives of almost all circles of society. Schweik is not only a funny little man caught in the maelstrom of war, but also a national hero, a kind of spokesman for the feelings and sentiments of the people, whose common sense exposes the falsity of the dogmas of the church, the state, official patriotism. The language of the brave soldier Schweik - witty, apt, full of wise proverbs and excellent humor. The set contains two volumes of the satirical novel.
