Marred by errors and patchy editing, particularly with regard to Hašek's time in the Austro-Hungarian army. | ![]() Cecil ParrottThe Bad BohemianAbacus 1983Biography of Jaroslav Hašek, partly based on Pytlík's "Toulavé house".

It is often difficult to tell where fact ends and fiction begins. | ![]() Jan Berwid-BuquoyDie Abenteuer des gar nicht so braven Humoristen Jaroslav HašekBI-HI Verlag Berlin 1989Entertaining biography, partly based on Hašek's own stories, with comments by the author.

Solidly documented and well written, though at times speculative. |
