5.0 out of 5 stars Little Man against Big Government, 29 Dec 2002
By Mark Wilson "belfastconfetti" (Armagh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Good Soldier Scweik bumbles and tramps his way through Austria-Hungary and Russia during the Great War doing his best, as a Czech, to avoid dying for a cause which is completely alien to his interests.

Interesting for its social-historical content, this translation takes the reader on a tour of a disapeared and a alien world, but one which for victims of the New British and European versions of big government - that is to say all of us - has a surprisingly familiar theme.

I admit that this is one of my favourite books - my rating is clearly the subjective view of a fan rather than the objective view of a professional critic, but I love Hasek's work. The scrupulously fair and accurate view of the catholic priesthood, the decidedly biased and jaundiced view of the Austrian civil servant and the closely observed description of how the intelligent little man might go about the task of frustrating big government.

If you haven't read this then my advice is to read it asap!
