A unique graphic novel that draws from real-life events, as chronicled in the journals of a young Czech explorer and botanist, Alberto Vojtěch Frič. During the winter of 1908, Frič returned to Europe from Paraguay, bringing along Cherwuish, an indigenous tribe member suffering from an enigmatic illness. This captivating narrative illustrates the brief yet profound interaction between two individuals from completely diverse cultural backgrounds. The story unfolds in comic form, enriched with elements of humor and a touch of melancholy.

Cherwuish's tale is grounded in reality and brims with astonishing, amusing, and bittersweet moments, masterfully depicted by Lucie Lomová. Initially serialized in 1943 in the well-loved Czech magazine Pestrý týden, the story was penned by the legendary adventurer and cactus enthusiast A.V. Frič during his later years. Amidst World War II, as an act of defiance against the German occupation, he adopted the distinctive full beard admired by South American barbudos and retreated indoors. For Frič, writing became a crucial source of income during these tumultuous times. The narrative, portraying the adventures of a so-called "savage" in the modern world, is crafted with wit, grace, and deep empathy. Over time, it evolved into an expansive existential reflection, not just detailing Cherwuish's journey but intertwining with Frič's own life story. This is a tale of a courageous adventurer and free spirit, known for his impulsive nature, dreams, and warrior zest. He was an intrepid explorer of uncharted territories on both the physical map and the landscape of the human mind, blessed with keen observational skills and an aptitude for probing inquiries. Frič was a narrator of firsthand truths and a champion of embracing differences.

Lucie Lomová stands out as the premier Czech comic artist of the new post-communist era, with three prestigious Muriel Prizes in comic art to her credit. As a prolific illustrator, her works have reached audiences through translations in German, French, Hungarian, and Polish languages.
