From the book: “<\/p>\n

Preface<\/i><\/p>\n

GREAT times call for great men. There are unknown heroes who are
\nmodest, with none of the historical glamour of a Napoleon. If you
\nanalysed their character you would find that it eclipsed even the glory
\nof Alexander the Great. Today you can meet in the streets of Prague a
\nshabbilly dressed man who is not even himself aware of his significance
\nin the history of the great new era. He goes modestly on his way,
\nwithout bothering anyone. Nor is he bothered by journalists asking him
\nfor an interview. If you asked him his na,e he would answer you simply
\nand unassumingly: ‘I am Svejk…’<\/p>\n

And this quiet, unassumming, shabbily dressed man is indeed that
\nheroic and valiant good old soldier Svejk. In Austrian times his name
\nwas once on the lips of all the cisizens of the Kingdon of Bohemia, and
\nin the Republic his glory will not fade either.<\/p>\n

I am very fond of the good soldier Svejk and in relating his
\nadventures during the world war I am convinced that this modest
\nanonymous hero will win the sypathy of all of you. Unlike that stupid
\nfellow Herostrates he did not set fire to the temple of the Goddess in
\nEphesus just to get himself into the newspapers and school books.<\/p>\n

\nAnd that is enough.<\/p>\n

THE AUTHOR”<\/p>\n

——————<\/p>\n

only noticed when I went to get the book to type this that I had it
\nonly a few books away from Atlas Shrugged, feels like sacrilege somehow
\nto have such a vibrantly and heart breakingly real book next to such
\nboorish, turgidly over-worded, rape-apologetic, teen angsty cultism as
\nRand…<\/p>\n

I think I shall buy some more arrows for my bow (carbon fibre shatters
\nso easily) and porcupine it so that The Good Soldier may sit there
\nuntainted.<\/p>\n

That, I imagine will make me a happy bunny \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
