RIP Fritz Muliar, actor of "The Good Soldier Švejk"

RIP Fritz Muliar, 89, Austrian actor best remembered beyond the boundaries of his native Vienna for playing the title role in the 13-part TV series, Die Abenteuer des braven Soldaten Schwejk.

The Good Soldier Švejk is the abbreviated title of an unfinished satirical novel by Jaroslav Hašek. A number of literary critics consider The Good Soldier Švejk to be one of the first anti-war novels, predating Remarque‘s All Quiet on the Western Front. Furthermore, Joseph Heller said that if he had not read The Good Soldier Švejk, he would never have written his novel Catch-22.
