Ideal Friendship and Ideal of Male Education

These are especially distinctive in novels 'Přístav volá', 'Kdyz duben přichází', 'Chata v Jezerní kotlině', 'Modra rokle' and 'Tajemna Rasnovka'. These novels are also non-scout ones, picturing independent life of youths. On the other hand, in second large group of his novels, a 'group hero' novels, the plot is based on stories of some organized group of youths, with less individual psychology and more action and adventures. The heroes are boy scouts or independent clubbists.
