Pan Kleks


Professor Ambroży Kleks, commonly referred to as Pan Kleks, is a fictional character in the Pan Kleks series, a trilogy of books written by Polish author Jan Brzechwa. He is depicted as the founder and headmaster of a magical academy for wizards that is attended by boys whose names begin with the letter "A". Kleks is depicted as a tall and eccentric man with a bushy beard, who wears a velvet frock coat over a waistcoat with numerous pockets. Among his magical abilities is his ability to change his size.
The character was partly based on Franciszek Fiszer, a Polish metaphysician and alchemist known to the literary circles of pre-World War II Warsaw.
Kleks was portrayed by Piotr Fronczewski in three films based on the book series, each of which were directed by : Akademia pana Kleksa, Podróże pana Kleksa and Pan Kleks w kosmosie. Fronczewski also voiced the character in the 2001 animated film Tryumf pana Kleksa.
