Summary/Abstract: Ferenc Molnár’s novel, The Paul Street Boys, was written over 110 years ago, but it is still popular, for example, thanks to the phenomenon of media convergence. Universal problems, promoted values, such as: loyalty, responsibility, honest friendship, as well as readiness to protect a small territory, which was more than just a playground for a group of boys. These qualities were followed by many generations of young people, also in Poland. Transmedia novels, based on this work, show the role they played in maintaining its popularity, at the same time stimulating new interpretations of the original
