Destruction of the Lake Basin
The sequel to the legendary Cabin in the Lake Basin!
Ludva and Pavel continue their trips to their beloved Lake Basin, bringing rare saffron back to the town's pharmacist. However, they sometimes get the feeling that someone is watching them. On one of their expeditions, they discover a cave containing something that raises many questions. Who is the mysterious Raven? Who is signing sinister letters in the name of the deceased Dernet? And does the Lake Basin hide something even more valuable than saffron? An adventure story in the tradition of Jaroslav Foglar.

Jaroslav Foglar
A writer, editor-in-chief of the magazines Mladý hlasatel, Junák, and Vpřed, a prominent methodologist, and the long-time scout leader of the 2nd Prague Troop. He offered his experience, ideas, and programme tips to others through magazines and later through books that were part-story, part-methodological guide, such as Kronika Ztracené stopy (Chronicle of the Lost Trail) and Náš oddíl (Our Troop). His first short story, Vítězství (Victory), was published in Skaut Junák as early as December 1923. Ten years later, he serialised the novel Boj o první místo (The Fight for First Place) in the same magazine. This was quickly followed by the books Hoši od Bobří řeky (The Boys from the Beaver River), Přístav volá (The Port Is Calling), and two dozen others.
