Banach Journal of Mathematical Analysis is named after one of the most outstanding mathematicians in the XXth century, Stefan Banach. Thus it is natural to recall in the first issue of the journal some information about Banach. A very short biography, some of his most eminent results and some stories will be presented in this article.
