The author gives an effective proof of Hilbert’s irreducibility theorem. The technique is used also to make some explicit calculations, obtaining an explicit example of a cubic polynomial with integral coefficients defining a smooth cubic surface X over \({\mathbb{Q}}\) such that the action of the Galois group of \({\mathbb{Q}}\) on \(Pic(X_{{\mathbb{Q}}})\) is the largest possible.
