Description:

The article treats the life of doctor Josef Aul who held the post of a soldier at the eastern front line in the World War One. He was taken captive by the Russians and went through different camps till he found himself in Bucharra, currently Uzbekistan. Because of the progressing danger coming from Tashkent Bolsheviks and fanatic Muslims, he set out for a hazardous journey across Afghanistan. Thus, he became the first historically acknowledged Czech who crossed this land. His journey took more than four months and the involuntary traveller covered more than two thousand kilometres in distance. Josef Aul dedicated himself to the occupation of a physician after his arrival do Czechoslovakia and never conceived hatred for his beloved Asia. He became an author of numerous publications and an active member of Oriental Institute Academy in Prague.
