Die Abenteuer des braven Soldaten Schwejk

Children's book on the topic of war and peaceThe classic "The Adventures of the Good Soldier Schwejk" 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 Schwejk is adapted for children for the first time and retold by Georg Wieghaus: The First World War breaks out and the dog catcher Josef Schwejk is drafted into military service. In a world that has been turned upside down by the war, Schwejk always tries to be of use. However, due to his slightly dorky manner, he stumbles from one disaster to the next and, in the process, rather unintentionally exposes the absurdity of war piece by piece. With a wink of the eye, this book introduces children to the adventures of the famous uniform-wearer and at the same time to the topic of war and peace in an unagitated way. The expressive illustrations by the artist Lukas Ruegenberg enrich the narrative and make this book unique.- The well-known story by Jaroslav Hašek for the first time as a children's book - Impressive illustrations by the artist Lukas Ruegenberg - Child-friendly texts from 6 years.
