Foglar for the 21st Century
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: October 16, 2023, 19:00 – 21:00
Does Jaroslav Foglar still have something to say to new generations? Or do those born earlier just flip through his books, nostalgically? Do Foglar’s readers accept new books by contemporary authors? What about The Message from Stínadla and other titles that take his ouevre as a starting point?
All this and more will be discussed by Pavel Hošek, religious scholar and author of the book The Gospel According to Jaroslav Foglar, Roman Šantora (Bobo), head of the Junák scouts archive and the Jaroslav Foglar Scout Foundation, writer Petr Hugo Šlik, Martin Pecina, author of modern “Foglar” book The Destruction of the Lake Basin, and Martin Pecina, the graphic designer behind contemporary Foglar books.
The discussion will be moderated by David Jan Žák, author of Tleskač and the Tromby Foglar adventure trilogy. Representatives of the Albatros publishing house will also be happy to take questions.
The evening will be introduced by Jáchym Topol.
