Ukradený totem – Stingl Miloslav (2013)

Exciting tales for all the boys and girls who love adventure and would rather embark on a dangerous expedition to see seals or even bears instead of going to school. Five unforgettable stories from one of the most significant Czech travelers and honorary chief of the Kickapoo Indian tribe will take young readers to various corners of the world, where they will experience many wonderful adventures alongside child heroes. With a little "detective" from the Haida tribe of Indians, they will set out to rescue a stolen totem, learn to invoke powerful spirits, outsmart a shaman, or build an Eskimo igloo on an ice floe. They will find themselves in a raging storm, search for the golden artery of the Australian desert, participate in an exciting fishing competition on one of the Hawaiian islands, and venture into the fragrant forests of South America for the skin of a wild puma. Many more thrilling adventures await them, against which they will uncover the beauty and uniqueness of our planet. And time and again, they will be reminded that whether here or there, without courage and friendship, neither small nor big can achieve anything. The stories are accompanied by beautiful illustrations by academic painter Josef Kremláček.
