The Good Soldier Svejk: Introduction by Cecil Parrott

The Good Soldier Svejk: Introduction by Cecil Parrott

Jaroslav Hasek

Everyman's Library
1993
sidottu
Presented here in a stunning hardcover edition, The Good Soldier Svejk, written in the aftermath of World War I by Czech humorist Jaroslav Hasek (1883-1923), stands as the classic satiric portrait of a little man waging war against authority. The unassuming and affable Svejk, having been called to serve in the Austro-Hungarian army at the start of the Great War, shrewdly plays the bumbling fool and makes a genial nuisance of himself, managing to avoid ever reaching the front while appearing loyally determined to do so. Possessed of an unerring talent for finding himself in (and extricating himself from) the most chaotic and absurd situations, Svejk represents, in his instinct for survival, all those human values that stand opposed to the utter futility of warfare. Hasek's novel, inspired by the author's own wartime escapades, has entertained readers in more than fifty languages for nearly a century and has come to define the spirit of comic endurance necessary to withstand the manglings of a modern-day bureaucratic war machine. This hardcover edition, translated and introduced by Cecil Parrott, is lavishly illustrated with 156 drawings by Hasek's friend and colleague, the Czech cartoonist Josef Lada, and includes maps, a guide to pronouncing Czech names, a bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.

-LOVE -JOY -PEACE A Tasty Sample of Spiritual Fruit That Will Give You A Boost For The Day (Special Color Edition) By Pastor Cecil A. Thompson Back in the 1970's I was Deputy Director of the Idaho Law Enforcement Planning Commission. I also taught a few night classes in the Criminal Justice field at Boise State University. One term I was called by the Registrar's Office and asked to teach a large class in Sociology. I had my Master's Degree in Sociology and agreed to teach it. Most of the night classes had about 20 students and that was what I was anticipating. To my surprise there were over 120 registered. I now became more of an entertainer than professor. The first class session I gave the assignment to write three most important qualities they wanted in their life. The answers were: 1. LOVE 2. JOY 3. PEACE When I read their results I opened to Galatians and read Galatians 5:22-23; "But the fruit of the Spirit is - Love, - Joy, - Peace, - Longsuffering, - Kindness, - Goodness, - Faithfulness, - Gentleness, - Self-Control. Against such there is no law." But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." I think that those qualities are what we all seek to find. How sad people seek in all the wrong places. This book will help you find just the right "SPIRITUAL FRUIT" for your day.

The Wartime Letters of Leslie and Cecil Frost, 1915-1919

The Wartime Letters of Leslie and Cecil Frost, 1915-1919

The Wartime Letters of Leslie and Cecil Frost, 1915-1919 brings to light the correspondence between two officer brothers and their family at home from 1915 to 1919. Despite wartime censorship, Leslie and Cecil wrote frank and forthright letters that show how the young men viewed the war, as well as what they observed both during training and from the trenches in some of the war's bloodiest battles. The letters also deal with the war's political context, including conscription and the Union government, as well as social issues such as the emerging role of women, the role of the growing middle class, nativism, and the use of liquor overseas. R.B. Fleming, the collection's editor, contends that Leslie Frost's military experiences and hospitalization affected his policies as premier of Ontario (1949-1961), especially those related to medicare and liquor control laws. Frost's government was the first to pass laws providing penalties for racial, ethnic, and gender discrimination on private property, creating a movement that led to the Ontario Human Rights Code. The Wartime Letters of Leslie and Cecil Frost, 1915-1919 makes a significant contribution to military history and social history. Fleming places the letters in context and shows the value of their commentary. This book will be of interest to the general reader as well as scholars of military history and social history.
