Przymanowski Janusz
(1922—1988)

This Polish writer gave a tribute to Dumas in his quite famous novel «Four Tank Men and a Dog», translated into English. The action is during the World War II. Formed far from Poland , the squad of Polish tank men, is moving to Poland and afterwards Berlin.

The novel is in two parts, and presents a tribute to Dumas’ musketeers, and partly, in the aspect of humor, and funny situations, to Jerome K. Jerome and his «Three men In a Boat : To Say Nothing of the Dog».

The main characters are: the young, 18-year-old soldier Janek ( d’Artagnan ), mighty Gustlik (Porthos), their captain-noble Athos. The rest of the characters share their roles. Of course, Janek has his “Constance”, a Russian girl, Marusia. The novel was also successfully filmed, and was on in many countries including the USA.
