The creative biography of the writer began with a competition in 1986. It was for the literary competition that he created his debut story, The Witcher. Despite serious competition, the aspiring author took third place. Before participating in the competition, the writer worked as a translator for the magazine.

The central character of the invented cycle is Geralt. He masterfully owns the sword and magic signs, kills monsters and dangerous creatures of the fantasy world for money. Subsequently, a series of short stories about Geralt grew into a volume of the same name.

In 1990, the next book of the writer about the adventures of the witcher "The Last Wish" was published. She absorbed seven short stories about the hero's adventures. Two years later, The Sword of Destiny was released. As a result, thirteen short stories were translated into Russian in one volume "The Witcher".

In 1994, the creator sat down to work on the five-volume The Witcher and the Witcher. Following one after another, books began to appear on store shelves: "Blood of the Elves" in 1994, "Hour of Contempt" in 1995, "Baptism by Fire" in 1996, "Tower of the Swallow" in 1997 and "Lady of the Lake" in 1999 year.

From 1993 to 1995, Boguslav Polkh transferred the character of The Witcher to comics. Pan Andrzej shared with Polch ideas that were not included in mainstream prose.

In 2001, a two-hour film about Geralt was released, and in 2002 - a series of thirteen episodes. The main character on the screen was embodied by Michal Zhebrovsky, and the films were directed by Marek Brodsky. The audience received both adaptations coldly.

A computer game has been developed based on the plot of The Witcher. It is considered one of the best Polish gameplay. It was said that the creator had a hand in the development of the gameplay, but he denied the rumors. In 2009, based on the cycle, they staged a rock opera "The Road without Return".

In 1995, the author shared his essay "The World of King Arthur." He reflected on the popularity of Arthurian legends among modern readers and on the impact of legends on the work of writers. The publication includes the short story "Maladie" - an author's composition based on the story of "Tristan and Isolde". In Russian, it was published in the collection of articles "There is no gold in the Gray Mountains", and "Maladie" - in the book "The Road without Return".

The Creator endowed the ensign with special abilities, which were suppressed in a psychiatric hospital, but upon meeting the Serpent, Paul regained his strength.

At the end of September 2010, the author signaled that he had begun work on the sequel to The Witcher story. In 2013, the publicist announced the readiness of the work. The Season of Thunderstorms was distributed by Super Nowa.
