For those that loved the book. Hasek also wrote an autobiography, which is even funnier than the life of Svejk. It's definitely made up quite a bit, but the stories in it are great. I cannot find english title ( it might have been not printed ), but transleting from polish it's called "3.5 beer".
Spoilers!!! Stories include:
- One time he wrote to paper called animals and unfortunately run out of animals to write, so he just started inventing them. It ended up in year long trip to Australia paid by some wealthy women who really wanted to get her own "Tasmanian Vampire"
- Russian general invades city. Hasek knows the best way to stay alive is to have a drink with him. They get very drunk and general ask Hasek what's his biggest problem. Hasek says that the fact that people cannot read. Next day he wakes up to bunch of posters around the city saying that whoever will not be able to read by noon tomorrow will be executed.
