# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Jaroslav Hašek was born 30 April 1883 in what would become Czechoslovakia, and moved through life as a journalist, humorist, and committed bohemian. He started as an anarchist, later turned communist, and served as a commissar of the Red Army against the Czechoslovak Legion. Out of that chaos came The Fateful Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk During the World War, a novel he never finished before his death on 3 January 1923. The book — a satire on the ineptitude of authority figures through the eyes of a World War I soldier — has since been translated into about 60 languages.
