Pan Samochodzik
Encyclopedia
Pan Samochodzik is a fictional art historian
, journalist
, renowned adventurer and historical detective (compared with Robert Langdon
, Dirk Pitt
and Indiana Jones
) created by Polish writer Zbigniew Nienacki
. He is a main character in a series of adventures centering around historical mysteries and treasuers. As a museum and government employee, Pan Samochodzik not only has to discover treasures, but protect them from thieves. His nickname comes from his fantastic (heavily customized) automobile
.
. He is a special envoy with extensive knowledge in the areas of history, riddle-solving, finding treasures and protecting them from thieves. As such, he is sometimes called a Polish version of Robert Langdon
, Dirk Pitt
or Indiana Jones
. He is also a chain smoker.
His nickname, Pan Samochodzik (Polish for "Mr. Automobile"; French (this version also appeared in one of the books): "Monsieur La Bangnolette"), comes from his unique vehicle: a heavily modified by his uncle Ferrari 410 SuperAmerica (a wreck after a serious car crash on the way to Zakopane
; the only thing that remained functional was the engine - Mr Automobile's uncle bought it and installed in his self-constructed vehicle). The car can reach a very high speed and is capable of traversing water and difficult terrain. Many people perceived this vehicle as ugly because of its dubledore-like design.
His other name, Tomasz N.N., comes from the author's real name, Zbigniew Tomasz Nowicki, the second "N" representing his adopted surname, Nienacki.
Novels written by authors other than Nienacki also feature Paweł Daniec, a young art historian
, ex-commando
and sidekick
of Samochodzik.
Novels written by authors other than Nienacki feature Jerzy Batura, new villain
, son and successor of Waldemar.
In the first three novels (Pozwolenie na przywóz lwa, Skarb Atanaryka and Uroczysko), Pan Samochodzik is a journalist, not a government employee. In the 1990s, Nienacki rewrote those three books so they would be consistent with the series. The books were released by various publishers, and it was not until 1987 that a single publisher (Pojezierze) decided to rerelease the series in one graphical design.
