The Adventures of the Grandson of the Good Soldier Švejk
For the world-famous anti-war novel by Jaroslav Hašek Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka za světové války several novelistic or documentary continuations were created in the Czech literature. Each continuation was of different genre and it was centered around a different topic. At present a topical and unique paraphrase of this classical novel by the author using the pseudonym Sigi Bigstain was published. In his novel Sigi Bigstain introduced a fictive character – the grandson of the famous „good soldier“. The author presents the character’s adventures within the framework of the original Hašek´s trilogy using also original Hašek’s poetic means. The adventures are also set within the context of the genre of humouristic prose and social satire and they are related to some features of the present times, often being both tragic and grotesque.
