Jaroslav FoglarJaroslav Foglar (6 July, 1907 - 23 January, 1999) was a famous Czech author who wrote many novels about young boy scouts and their stories in nature and dark city streets. While they may be considered ideological, his stories are not mere fables, but are based upon his long-term work with children on summer camps and in club-rooms. He edited several journals for young people: - Mlad hlasatel (1938-1941)
- Junk (1945-1949) /Scout/
- Vpřed (1946-1948) /Ahead/
and he wrote articles for even more journals including the Skaut, Junk, Slunčko, ABC, and the Tramp. Charles Sys wrote about him on the back-cover of his book Chata v jezerni kotline: "I think, that both meaning and effect of his work lies in moral purity based upon author's experience. Foglar raises reliance of children and young people. On pages of his novels there are happening miracles of friendship, nature is painted in its virgin purity, city streets are surrounded by secrets -- and it's possible to believe it all because it was imagined by a pure heart." He wrote a long list of books: - Hoši od Bobř řeky /Boys from the Beavers' river/
- Přstav vol /The port is calling/
- Když duben přichz /When april comes/
- Pod junckou vlajkou /Under the scouts' flag/
- Devadestka pokračuje /Number 90 goes on/
- Zhada hlavolamu /The mystery of the conundrum/
- Stnadla se bouř /The Stnadla are revolting/
- Tajemstv velkho Vonta /The mystery of the big Vont/
- Strach nad Bobř řekou /Fear above the Beavers' river/
- Chata v jezern kotline /The log-house in the lake basin/
- Tbor smůly /The camp of ill luck/
- Tajemn rasnovka
- Boj o prvn msto /A fight over the first place/
- Historie svorn sedmy /The history of the harmonious seven/
- Poklad černho delfna /The treasure of the black dolphin/
- Kronika ztracen stopy /The Chronicle of the Lost Trace/
- Nš oddl /Our group/
- Dobrodružstv v zemi nikoho /An adventure in the no-man's-land/
- Modr rokle /The blue gorge/
- Jestřbe, vypravuj /Tell us the story,Goshawk/
- Život v poklusu /A life in a trot/
(this list is probably incomplete) Foglar is also the author of a serial called Rychl špy, very successful among young readers. Foglar, Jaroslav Foglar, Jaroslav
