Die Abenteuer des braven Soldaten Schwejk

Children's book on the theme of war and peace. The classic "The Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk" by Jaroslav Hašek is one of the most important works of Czech literature. In this picture book, the well-known story of the good-natured and somewhat simple-minded soldier Švejk is presented for children for the first time, retold by Georg Wieghaus: World War I breaks out, and dog catcher Josef Švejk is drafted into military service. In a world thrown into chaos by war, Švejk always tries to be of use. However, due to his somewhat clumsy demeanor, he stumbles from one misfortune to the next, inadvertently revealing the absurdity of war piece by piece.
