This study focuses on the figure of Zdenek Fafl (1881–1961), deputy of the Prague Chamber of Commerce who visited in 1910 and 1911 states in South America. The topic is addressed from a wide perspective of relations between Austria-Hungary and the respective countries. It is based on the material from the personal collection of Zdenek Fafl stored in the archive of the National Technical Museum in Prague as well as contemporary and present scientific literature. The main goal of this contribution is to introduce the personality of Zdenek Fafl and analyse his writings that offer us invaluable information about the South American countries and their relation with Austria-Hungary in the years prior to the World War I. Without any doubt Fafl’s diary presents the broadest material of its time about countries like Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay or Chile and is also significant for future studies regarding Czechs and South America.

This study presents the activities of the Czechoslovak traveller Václav Kotál (1894–1976) in Latin America. Although, he is an obscure figure today, he was at the height of media fame in the 1920s on account of his walking journey from Buenos Aires to Chicago. Kotal made use of this popularity to put his compatriots off moving across the ocean. The aim of this work is therefore to present this intriguing historical figure, but, above all, conduct a critical qualitative analysis to evaluate: what motivated him to discourage his compatriots; whether his information was trustworthy; and how he influenced Czechoslovak interwar migration. The principal sources are contemporary newspaper articles and the Kotál’s own publishing activities. These are supplemented by archival materials and academic literature.

Tato studie se zabývá působením československého cestovatele Václava Kotála (1894-1976) v Latinské Americe. Dnes jde naprosto neznámou osobnost, která ale byla ve 20. letech 20. století na vrcholu mediální slávy díky své pěší cestě z Buenos Aires do Chicaga. Kotál toho využil, aby své krajany varoval před vystěhováním za oceán. Cílem této práce je proto na jedné straně představit tuto zajímavou historickou osobnost, ale především kritickou kvalitativní analýzou zhodnotit, jaká byla jeho motivace k odrazování, zdali se jeho informace zakládaly na pravdě a jakým způsobem ovlivnil československou meziválečnou migraci. Hlavními zdroji jsou dobové novinové články a publikační činnost samotného Kotála. Tyto jsou pak doplněny archivními materiály a odbornou literaturou.
