| 2 | Books about Švejk | Radko Pytlík | Pytlík is commonly regarding as the most prominent living expert on Jaroslav Hašek. Extracts from his Hašek-biography "Toulavé House" is available online. The author has written numerous books on other subjects: Bohmil Hrabal, Dostoyevsky and works on history, mostly the history of Prague. |
| 3 | Švejk Central | Zenny K. Sadlon | The first English-language web site on Švejk. Managed by the translator of the most recent English-language version of the novel, it contains a wealth of information and links. It is particularly strong on analytical material. |
| 4 | Live journal by Sergey Soloukh | Сергей Солоух | Sergey Soloukh's extremely detailed analysis of the novel. Unparalleled so far. |

| 8 | Občan Josef Švejk | Memoriál Matěje Kuděje | |
| 9 | The Good Soldier Švejk | Wikipedia | Informative overview but not without inaccuracies. The perennial claim that Hašek died from tubercolosis is repeated (he actually died from heart failure). The question of anti-semittism is dubiously raised when describing Otto Katz (in the novel the word Jew is mentioned only once in connection with Katz and if that sentence had been left out no-one would have guessed Katz's ethnic origins). |
| 10 | The Good Soldier Švejk | Facebook user run by Zenny Sadlon, American translator of Švejk. One of the most active of all Facebook pages dedicated to Švejk. | |
| 11 | New translation of one of the GREATEST books of all time | zenny.com | Advertising page for the Sadlon/Joyce translation of Švejk. Copies can be purchased here, either as paperbacks or as PDF-files. Screaming colours and animations hamper readability. Buying the books from this page is very straightforward. |

| 24 | Found in the translation: a Czech hero for our times | Bob Hicks, The Portland Oregonian | Insightful review of both the Švejk novel in its own right and the Sadlon/Joyce translation of the first book. Interesting observations on the problem of getting a book published the traditional way. Largely sympathetic to both the novel and the translation. |
| 25 | Michelle Woods reviews The Good Soldier Švejk (Book One) | Jacket Magazine | Thorough and critical review of Book 1 of the Sadlon/Joyce translation. The reviewer seems to have read only the first few chapters. It should be noted that the review is based on a very early issue of the translations and that at least the PDF-version has undergone changes since. |
| 26 | The Response | Jacket Magazine | Zenny Sadlon's extremely detailed reply to Michelle Woods' review (see above). |
| 27 | Jaroslav Hašek | Petri Liukkonen, Kirjasto.fi | Biography from a site devoted to literature. This article has been around for a long time and is widely quoted (even on Wikipedia).
