Abstracts

The study is based on the thesis that travelling has become a part of the process of globalization. On the one hand, it avers the unbridled tourism while on the other hand one can see wanderlust as a state of soul. The text pays attention to the second line, observing the fortunes of Helena Šťastná-Bübelová, an important Czech traveller, who was travelling through Central Africa between 1946 and 1947. After February 1948, she became an expatriate; before settling in the south of France at Cap Ferat near Nice (1965), she worked in Kenya, got married, and lived with her second husband in Madagascar for many years (1953-1964). The study is based on the personal experience of the traveller in various civilizations. In addition to the materials obtained from Helena Šťastná-Bübelová, (written materials: correspondence, notes, and her African diary published in book form), the study also includes the observations of her friends, for example traveller Miroslav Zikmund.
