Following up some earlier and contemporary interpretative approaches, the study tries to see the novel of J. Hasek Good soldier Svejk as a literary work that anticipates many principles of the post-modern poetics. At the same time, it demonstrates how the literary mystification - moving between the amplitudes of ingenuity and stupidity, nobility and banality - is a source of a special type of humour that is characteristic of Czech culture in the 20th century. The representatives of this type of humour and mystification are Hasek's Josef Svejk and a fictitious Czech artist and inventor Jara da Cimrman who is the central character by many plays in Z. Sverak and L. Smoljak - the playwrights of the Theatre of Jara (da) Cimrman in Prague.
