The Prohaska series Overview Ottokar Prohaska, the fictional protagonist, is a Czech by birth, but an Austrian naval officer by vocation. His exploits have elements of both adventure and comedy. The historical background is the last years of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and in particular, in the case of two of the novels, World War I.[5] The reader finds the hero/anti-hero, at different times, a gunnery officer aboard a ship, a submarine commander, and a member of the flying corps. A Sailor of Austria (1991)[1][6][7] Vivat Österreich! (2011) – German translation of A Sailor of Austria (1991) The Emperor's Coloured Coat (1992)[8][9] The Two-Headed Eagle (1993)[10][11] Tomorrow The World (1994)[3]
