Editing Jaroslav Foglar (section)

==Writer and editor career, prohibited writer and the end of life==
During the 1930s and 1940s, Foglar worked as a magazine editor in one of the largest [[Prague]] publishing houses, [[Melantrich]]. He edited several journals for youths:
* ''Mladý hlasatel'' ("Young herald"), 1938–1941
* ''Junák'' ("Scout"), 1945–1949
* ''Vpřed'' ("Ahead"), 1946–1948
and he wrote articles for other journals including the ''Skaut'', ''Sluníčko'', ''ABC'', and the ''Tramp''.

After the Communist coup in 1948 Foglar was kicked out of the publishing house, his magazines were liquidated and his books prohibited, as was the Scout movement and independent youth clubs. For many years he worked as a tutor in boarding schools and youth homes. During the fall of censorship at the end of the 1960s, he published some new books and re-editions of the older ones. After the Soviet occupation of [[Czechoslovakia]] his books were once again banned until 1989.

Foglar lived with his mother, caring for her until her death in high age, and never married.
