Still Hilarious, 100 years on

I'm still reading the English version of this book. I'm constantly laughing out loud at Svjek's antics, and I love how jolly and dark this book is in equal measure - I've never found anything like it

Absolutely gutted that the author died before finishing this, getting a bit familiar with the style and the character Svjek, I think that the book on the Russian Revolution would surely have been the best bit!
