Abstrakt

Jan Welzl (1868-1948) was a Czech traveller, globetrotter, polar explorer, hunter, gold prospector and writer who lived on the New Siberian Islands for about 30 years. His memoirs and autobiographical accounts were written down with a help of the professional writers and  journalists (R. Těsnohlídek, B. Golombek, E. Valenta) and became very popular in Czechoslovakia. The paper will be an attempt to reconstruct and analyze, on the basis of Welzl’s literary work, his way of seeing the polar regions as a space where the biding social standards and regulations have been changed or suspended. Especially the Eskimo people are seen by Welzl as a social group in which the European behavioral patterns and European social norms (moral, ethical, sexual, etc.) are undermined or non-biding
