	Kleks (The Inkblot) in the text, the text on Kleks (The Inkblot). Metaphors and intertextuality in Jan Brzechwa’s novel sequence on Mr Kleks (Mr Inkblot)

	
	The main aim of the paper is to find some deeper meanings of Jan Brzechwa’s trilogy on Mister Kleks. The author focuses on metaphor of a library as a gateway to a fabulous world and on a metaliterary dimension of the work, showing that it can be read as a kind of Künstlerroman (and Bildungsroman). She also seeks sources for Brzechwa’s invention, analyzing each part of the novel from this point of view. The science-fiction, utopist and parodist contexts of the novel are also taken into consideration.
