A journey undertaken in memory of Czech author Jaroslav Hašek, creator of the satirical masterpiece "The Good Soldier Švejk".
This famous novel, which has been translated into 58 languages, is a biting satire, replete with historical, literary and geographical references, a textbook in a number of subjects. It is most of all a stinging attack on human stupidity in the guise of political, military, or clerical authority.
