The Good Soldier Svejk by Jaroslav Hasek came to mind when the issue of peaceful protesting in the UK was publicly debated. This satirical work is as relevant today as the day it was first published, 1921.
It was the inspiration for such works as Joseph Heller’s Catch 22. A darkly humourous work that reminds me a bit of Candide with the central character stumbling into many bizarre situations.
