Abstract
This essay provides an overview of the Croatian reception of the Czech writer Jaroslav Hašek's book editions from their preparation stage to the theater spanning the end of the 1920s and the present day. Special attention is paid to the three translations of the novel The Fateful Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk during the World War, but there is also consideration of other book translations of Hašek's works in Croatia. Taking into account the social and political context of individual editions, as well as their paratextual and textological aspects, an attempt is made to grasp the diachronic changes and specificities of almost a century of Hašek's reception, and to point out its problems.
