Jaroslav Ha'ek's world-famous satirical farce "The Good Soldier Evejk" has been translated into over sixty languages, and is one of the best-known Czech works ever published. A soldier in the First World War who never actually sees any combat, Josef Evejk is "The Good Soldier's" awkward protagonist - and none of the other characters can quite decide whether his bumbling efforts to get to the front are genuine or not. Often portrayed as one of the first anti-war novels, Ha'ek's classic satire is a tour-de-force of modernist writing, influencing later writers such as Hemingway, Faulkner and Joseph Heller. In this version, it has been sensitively and carefully abridged.

Kanske værldens bæsta bok. I min lilla værld. Snor en linelse och citat från något helt annat: "som en att få hjærnan krossad av en guldtacka svept i citronskivor".
