About the Book

This book is written in Czech language. Vetsina ctenaru bude pravdepodobne ode mne ocekavat knihu o mori, bourich, plachetnicich a objevitelskych plavbach, nebo o narocnych zavodech osamelych moreplavcu. Tentokrat vam ale nabizim denik ze sve cesty na Aljasku. Puvodne jsem se chystal nafilmovat unikatni domorody lov velryb na pobrezi Beaufortova more, nezbytny jak pro zivot Inuitu v narocnem arktickem podnebi, tak pro uchovani jejich kultury. K memu zklamani vsak z lovu seslo. Aljaska me uchvacovala jiz od mladi a kdyz mi nevysla kdysi planovana plavba do techto koncin na palube Nike, bez problemu jsem se spokojil s plavbou na palube letadla. Cesta prisla necekane a rozhodnuti o ni padlo behem peti minut. Moje zena Mirka nemohla jet se mnou a tak si jen prala, abych ji z cesty privezl denik. Ten se ji tak zalibil, ze v ni vzbudil touhu blize Aljasku poznat. S jejim rostoucim zajmem se rozrustal i tento denik. V nasi knihovne jsme vyhledali pul stoleti stare vydani knihy Jacka Londona Bily Tesak", dale Curwoodovo vypraveni Vlcak Kazan" a Kral sedych medvedu", nemohli jsem samozrejme pominout ani Behounkovu Kletbu zlata a Namornika na koni Irvinga Stonea. Cesky preklad Bertonovy knihy Klondike nam nestacil a tak jsme si objednali jeji rozsirene vydani v anglictine. Neni se co divit, ze jsme oba znovu propadli tajuplne zari Aljasky. Tento muj Aljassky denik je sice venovan prevazne nejsevernejsi casti Aljasky, kde se misto vysokych hor rozprostira plocha, vecne promrzla tundra, ale navstivena reka Colville je stejne zajimava jako zlatonosne pritoky Yukonu. Osudy Eskymaku byly pro mne stejne vzrusujici, jako kratkodecha slava zlatokopu z Dawsonu. Doufam, ze tento denik zavede kazdeho tam, kde jeste nebyl.
