The authors are Aldo Palazzeschi and Jaroslav Hasek and the works Two Lost Empires (1920) and The Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk in the Great War (1921-1923) The comparison of the respective texts focuses on the humorous poetics of the two writers, starting from the Futurist manifesto Controdolore (1914) by Palazzeschi.
