The Man Without a Transit Pass by Jaroslav Hasek
Gathering work from across Jaroslav Hasek's brief but prolific career, this collection showcases the outrageous wit and biting social commentary that made him the most popular Czech writer of all time. Much like his beloved novel The Good Soldier Svejk, these sixteen tales-previously unavailable in English-are populated with unforgettable characters: various cranks, conmen, and secret geniuses. The Man Without a Transit Pass>further solidifies Hasek's place as one of the 20th century's greatest satirists.
Jaroslav Hasek (1883-1923) authored almost 2,000 short works, short stories, glosses, and sketches, most of which were published under numerous pen names. Hasek, a prankster and pillar of countless bars around Bohemia, was drafted into the Austro-Hungarian army during WWI and spent much of the war in a Russian prisoner-of-war camp. Following the war, Hasek began writing The Good Soldier Svejk, a scathing and funny satire that was cruelly left incomplete at his early death and was, by several metrics, certainly unfinishable.
