The East is the birthplace of the most ancient cultures and outlandish traditions, where fertile valleys border on lifeless deserts, wealthy people live side by side with beggars, and according to legends, a snowman lives in the mountains. It is to this part of the world that Tomek Vilmovsky goes. Having received a letter from Jan Smuga asking for help, Tomek, his father and the boatswain Novitsky immediately move to India. They are sure that trouble has happened to their comrade, because, being not a timid person, Smuga would not bother anyone for trifles. Travelers fail to find a brave hunter in Bombay, and the lawyer of the Smug is killed right in front of their eyes by a stranger with a scar on his cheek. The matter is taking a serious turn. What made Smuga climb into the depths of South Asia? And most importantly — is he alive?..More than one generation of young book lovers has grown up on the stories about the fearless Tomek Wilmowski, which came from the pen of the Polish writer Alfred Shklarsky. Here is the fourth novel from this cycle — "Tomek is looking for a Snowman", the translation of which has been re-verified and supplemented with interesting and informative popular science references. Wonderful illustrations for the book were created by the artist Vladimir Kanivets.
