Hašek, Jaroslav(born April 30, 1883, Prague, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary—died Jan. 3, 1923, Lipnice nad Sázavou, Czech.) Czech writer. He published 16 volumes of short stories before World War I, when he became a prisoner of war. After his release he devoted himself to writing a six-volume war novel, The Good Soldier Schweik, but died after completing only four volumes (published 1921–23). Even in its incomplete state, it is considered one of the world's masterpieces of satire. How to thank TFD for its existence?
