"The Good Soldier Svejk and His Fortunes in the World War"
Explanation:
albo
"The Fateful Adventures of the Good Soldier Svejk During the World War"

Moim zdaniem nie ma co kombinować i najlepiej użyć jeden z powyższych przyjętych tytułów angielskich przekładów powieści.

Chyba,że rzeczywiście chcesz stworzyć nowy tytuł i użyć "... i jego dodze na front", wtedy proponuję:

"The Tale of the Good Soldier Svejk and his way to the war front"

"... Austro-Hungarian Empire is collapsing, "The Good Soldier Svejk" focuses on a working-class soldier's experiences as he makes his way to the war front. ..."

I have just realized (1) you may not be speaking Polish and (2) I have offeted you a link to what looks like your own website (DOH!). All I am saying is that yopu could use either of the existing titles of the English translations of the novel, unless you want to come up with a completelt new one. If this is the cas then try:
\"The Tale of the Good Soldier Svejk and his way to the war front\"
