Jaroslav Hasek - Lipnice nad Sazavou, Czech Republic, EU - Grave of a Famous Person on Waymarking.com

Jaroslav Hašek was born in Prague, Bohemia (then within Austria-Hungary, now the Czech Republic), the son of high school math teacher Josef Hasek and his wife Katerina. Poverty forced the family, with three children—another son Bohuslav, three years Hasek's younger, and an orphan cousin Maria—to move often, more than ten times during his infancy. He never knew a real home, and this rootlessness clearly influenced his life of wanderlust. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, he remained in Russia as a member of the Bolshevik party. During this time he also remarried (although he was still married to Jarmila). He eventually returned again to Prague in 1920 in the hope of finishing The Good Soldier Švejk. However, he was not a popular figure upon his return, being branded a traitor and a bigamist, and struggled to find a publisher for his works. Before the war, in 1912, he published the book The Good Soldier Švejk and other strange stories where the figure of Švejk appeared for the first time but it was only after the war in his famous novel that Švejk became a sancta simplicitas, a cheerful idiot who joked about the war as if it were a tavern brawl. By this time, Hašek had become gravely ill and dangerously overweight.

--------------------------------

Po nedokoncených studiích na gymnáziu se vyucil drogistou a nakonec maturoval na obchodní akademii. Stal se zamestnancem banky Slavia. V této dobe se seznámil s ceskými anarchisty a postupne se dostal do jejich cela.

Zacal vést bohémský a tulácký život (prošel pešky mj. Slovensko, Halic, Uhry).

V této dobe se zacal živit pouze literaturou a novinarinou a také zacal mít problémy s alkoholem, které se postupem casu zvetšovaly. Seznámil se s Jarmilou Mayerovou, se kterou se pozdeji oženil.

V roce 1907 byl krátce veznen za svoji anarchistickou cinnost.

Roku 1908 redigoval Ženský obzor, od 1910 Svet zvírat, od 1911 prispíval do Ceského slova, dále pak prispíval do: Cechoslovanu, Pochodne, Humoristických listu.

V roce 1911 založil Stranu mírného pokroku v mezích zákona, politickou mystifikaci karikující volební pomery, a vystupoval jako její kandidát. V tomto období byl spolu s F. Langrem, E. A. Longenem, E. E. Kischem a dalšími spoluautorem rady kabaretních vystoupení, kde byl i hlavním úcinkujícím.

V roce 1915 dobrovolne narukoval v Ceských Budejovicích k 91. pluku a s ním odešel na halicskou frontu. O úmyslu narukovat témer nikomu nerekl, proto byl nejakou dobu hledaný. V zárí 1915 se nechal zajmout a roku 1916 vstoupil do ceskoslovenských legií, publikoval v casopise Cechoslovan.

Pres Jugoslávii se dostal do Ruska, kde roku 1918 v Moskve vstoupil do ceské sociálne demokratické strany (bolševiku). V roce 1918 vstoupil do Rudé armády, byl reditelem armádní tiskárny v Ufe, nácelníkem oddelení pro práci s cizinci aj. Co vedlo Haška k opuštení myšlenky anarchismu a prijetí socialistických myšlenek, nikde neobjasnil, na základe jeho díla lze ríci, že k anarchii mel rozhodne blíže. V Rusku se znovu oženil (po návratu do Cech nebyl souzen za mnohoženství jen díky tomu, že v Rusku nebyl zrovna porádek a neuznávaly se vzájemne ruzné smlouvy).

V prosinci 1920 se vrátil do Prahy, kde se vrátil ke svému bohémskému zpusobu života. Mnoho historek z této doby sepsal Haškuv prítel Zdenek Matej Kudej.

Znechucen politickým vývojem odešel do Lipnice nad Sázavou, kde pozdeji zemrel.
