DEAR FRIENDS we would like to present you one of the most
famous Polish Legends: “PAN TWARDOWSKI” – “MR TWARDOWSKI”
According to an old legend, Twardowski was a nobleman who lived in Kraków in the 16th century. He sold his soul to the devil in exchange for great knowledge and magical powers. However, Twardowski wanted to outwit the devil by including a special clause in the contract, stating that the devil could only take Twardowski's soul to Hell during his visit to Rome – a place Twardowski never intended to go.
Twardowski quickly rose to wealth and fame, eventually becoming a courtier of King Sigismund Augustus. He also wrote two books, both dictated to him by the devil – a book on magic and an encyclopedia.
After years of evading his fate, Twardowski was eventually abducted by the devil while visiting a restaurant called Rome. Twardowski started to pray and the devil dropped his victim midway to Hell. Twardowski fell on the Moon where he lives to this day.
