Description

Gathering work from across Jaroslav Hasek's brief but prolific career, this collection showcases the outrageous wit and biting social commentary that made him the most popular Czech writer of all time. Much like his beloved novel The Good Soldier Svejk, these sixteen tales-previously unavailable in English-are populated with unforgettable characters: various cranks, conmen, and secret geniuses. The Man Without a Transit Pass further solidifies Hasek's place as one of the 20th century's greatest satirists.

Author Biography:

Jaroslav Hasek (1883-1923) was a Czech humorist, satirist, and journalist. He was beloved-and infamous-for his bohemian lifestyle, practical jokes, and radical politics. During his short life, he wrote copiously and traveled on foot throughout Central and Eastern Europe, frequently landing in trouble with the authorities. He is best known for The Good Soldier Svejk, an unfinished comic novel set during the First World War. Dustin Stalnaker discovered Hasek's lesser-known short stories in Germany, while researching the history of European antifascism. He grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania. He now runs the translation blog Tales from Jaroslav.
