If you asked him his name he would answer you simply and unassumingly: 'I am Švejk….' Nor is he bothered by journalists asking for an interview. He goes modestly on his way, without bothering anyone. Today you can meet in the streets of Prague a shabbily dressed man who is not even himself aware of his significance in the history of the great new era. If you analysed their character you would find that it eclipsed even the glory of Alexander the Great. There are unknown heroes who are modest, with none of the historical glamour of a Napoleon. Švejk is also spelled Schweik or Schwejk in some editions.
