Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article are Zbigniew Nienacki’s novels from the Pan Samochodzik series, concerning the protagonis’s foreign adventures: Pan Samochodzik i tajemnica tajemnic [Pan Samochodzik and the Secret of Secrets], Pan Samochodzik i Fantomas [Pan Samochodzik and Fantomas], Pierwsza przygoda Pana Samochodzika (Pozwolenie na przywóz lwa) [Pan Samochodzik’s First Adventure (Lion Import Permission)], Pan Samochodzik i człowiek z UFO [Pan Samochodzik and the Man from the UFO]. The research question concerns the value of these books from the point of view of historical, tourist and cultural education. The article also deals with the readership and film reception of Nienacki’s books and the issue of their digital availability. The author assumes that the educational value of these novels is high. The second thesis argued in the text is the belief that the readers are still interested in the writer’s books and that these are available in digital versions.
