Very well known, classic introduction to the C Programming Language. Both a text for learning, a reference, and, to some, the definition of proper C language features and use.

Excerpts

Język C jest językiem ogólnego stosowania ... Jednak C nie jest przywiązany do żadnego systemu operacyjnego lub maszyny. Wprawdzie nazwano go "językiem programowania systemowego", jest bowiem wygodnym narzędziem do konstruowania kompilatorów systemów operacyjnych, ale okazało się, że nadawał się równie dobrze do napisania ważniejszych programów z wielu różnych dziedzin.
