Book description:
The books about the adventures of Tomek Wilmowski captured the imagination of teenagers and provided Alfred Szklarski with a success that no author writing for young people in Poland was later able to repeat for a long time. The total circulation of the saga was over 10 million copies, and the writer, initially known mainly in Silesia, gained international fame - his novels were translated into several languages. The hero created by Szklarski, who travelled to the most distant lands and was well acquainted with their history, culture and customs, attracted attention, was a role model and, at the same time, an object of envy. The novels taught not only geography and history, but also bravery and true friendship. They shaped the imagination of several generations of young readers. What do we know about the author The portrait we get of him can be surprising.
