À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Jaroslav Hasek is a Czech writer most famous for his wickedly funny, widely read, yet incomplete novel The Good Soldier Schweik , a series of absurdist vignettes about a recalcitrant WWI soldier. Hasek--in spite of a life of buffoonery and debauchery--was remarkably prolific. He wrote hundreds of short stories that all display both his extraordinary gift for satire and his profound distrust of authority. Behind the Lines presents a series of nine short stories first published in the Prague Tribune and considered to be some of Hasek's best. Based on his experiences as a Red Commissar in the Russian Civil War and his return to Czechoslovakia, Behind the Lines focuses on the Russian town of Bugulma, taking aim, with mordant wit, at the absurdities of a revolution. Providing important background and insight into The Good Soldier Schweik , this collection by a writer some call the Bolshevik Mark Twain is nevertheless much more than a tool for understanding his better-known novel; it is a significant work in its own right. A hidden gem remarkable for its modern, ribald sense of humor, Behind the Lines is an enjoyable, fast-paced anthology of great literary and historical value.

Reviews
Behind the Lines is a special book. . . .  Hasek tackles the absurdity of the Soviet approach to Marxism, making fun of how quickly the Bolshevik revolution was corrupted by ignorant men thirsty for power and willing to commit unnecessary violence. . . . In Behind the Lines , it's all a fraud, lies and betrayal, with war presented as a charade in which soldiers act out their role merely because they have no other way of earning a living, while civilian lives and precious resources are wasted like water. Although he was writing about an absurd, militarized society in the early twentieth century, Hasek pretty much nails contemporary society right on the head., Behind the Lines is a special book. . . .
