From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Zbigniew Nienacki (born January 1, 1929 in Lodz - died September 23, 1994) was a Polish writer.

His works consist of adventure stories aimed at teenagers as well as adult novels. He achieved his greatest acclaim for his Pan Samochodzik series, a sequence of historical detective stories centering around a museum employee and his fantastic automobile (Samochód in Polish). The works Raz w roku w Skiroławkach and Dagome Iudex contain controversial opinions on erotic subject matter.

Aside from being forcibly relocated during World War II and his brief studies in cinematography in Moscow, he spent most of his life until 1967 in Lodz. In 1967 he moved to Masuria (Polish: Mazury), a lake filled region in northwestern Poland, where he remained until his death. Mazury are the setting for Pan Samochodzik i templariusze and feature in some of his other works.
