This 1982 book was the first major critical study of Jaroslav Haek and his most important literary creation, The Good Soldier vejk. For many people Haek's book is simply extremely funny. Cecil Parrott begins from the point of view that a closer examination of the conditions under which the book was written reveal it to be a much deeper work than it appears on the surface: a tragic as well as a comic masterpiece. A leading authority on Haek, Parrott wrote the definitive biography, The Bad Bohemian, and translated the unexpurgated version of vejk and many of Haek's short stories. This book is lucidly written and aimed at the nonspecialist reader who requires guidance in coming to terms with this strange book. All quotations are translated, and the book also includes a number of illustrations including the only sketch of vejk that Haek approved.
