About this title: Jaroslav Hasek was a humorist and satirist of rare order long before he wrote his celebrated novel, The Good Soldier Schweik. This selection of 32 pre-1914 stories of Prague life--most were translated into English for the first time in this collection--revels in the twisted logic of politics and bureaucracy in the Czech capital which was also an Austrian provincial city.
