Jaroslav Hasek (1883-1923) was a Czech humorist, satirist, and journalist. He was beloved-and infamous-for his bohemian lifestyle, practical jokes, and radical politics. During his short life, he wrote copiously and traveled on foot throughout Central and Eastern Europe, frequently landing in trouble with the authorities. He is best known for The Good Soldier Svejk, an unfinished comic novel set during the First World War.
