Description

A graphic novel based on real events, as captured in his journals by a young Czech explorer and botanist, Alberto Vojtech Fric.

In the winter of 1908 he returned to Europe from Paraguay accompanied by Cherwuish, a member of an indigenous tribe afflicted by a mysterious disease.

A captivating story depicting the encounter between two men from two entirely different cultures whose paths crossed for a short time.

A fascinating comic-form narrative laced with humour and melancholy.

The story of Cherwuish is a true story. And it was in every respect as incredible, amusing and bittersweet as Lucie Lomova has drawn it.

First published in instalments in the popular Czech journal Pestry tyden in 1943, it was written in his old age by the legendary explorer and collector of cacti A.V.
