Tony Halik, or rather Mieczysław Sędzimir, is an extremely colorful and controversial figure. A pilot in World War II, a French partisan, the author of an interview with Fidel Castro, a Pulitzer Prize winner, Juan Peron's private pilot and the discoverer of the lost capital of the Maya - these are just some of his life roles. Are they all true? This biography tries to answer this question, leading the reader through various stages of his life, from Toruń, through France, Mexico, the United States, Argentina, to Poland.

Mirosław Wlekły, the author of the biography, undertook a difficult task - separating truth from fiction in Tony Halik's life. He did it with great care and honesty, trying to understand the motives of his actions and show his choices in the context of time and political events. This resulted in a book that not only fascinates, but also forces reflection on the nature of truth and myth.

Elżbieta Dzikowska, Tony Halik's life partner, expressed her concerns about revealing the secrets of his life. However, after reading the book, she admitted that Mirosław Wlekły approached the topic with respect and understanding, doing justice to his unique hero. Jerzy Stuhr, also associated with Tony and Elżbieta, emphasized that the book is more than a sentimental journey through a world smelling of vanilla.

The book also inspired director Marcin Borchardt to create the documentary "Tony Halik. I was here", and Mirosław Wlekły himself to write the children's book "The Adventure of Wild Tony Halik". This is proof that Tony Halik's story still lives and inspires future generations.

Agora Publishing House presents this extraordinary biography in an elegant paperback cover, on 488 pages, in 158x209 mm format. This is a must-read for anyone who appreciates fascinating stories and extraordinary personalities.
