With Fire and Sword

$35.00

Author - Henryk Sienkiewicz

Year published - 1990

Published by - Fredonia Books

Book Format - Soft Cover

Genre - Poetry, Literature and Ballads

Summary

Despite some deviations, the book's historical framework is genuine and the fictional story is woven into real events. Many characters are historical figures, including Jeremi Wiśniowiecki and Bohdan Khmelnytsky (Polish: Bohdan Chmielnicki). Sienkiewicz researched memoirs and chronicles of the Polish nobility, or szlachta, for details on life in 17th-century Poland. The book was written, according to the author, "to lift up the heart" of the Polish nation in the unhappy period following the failed January Uprising during the era of the partitions of Poland. Thus it often favors epic plots and heroic scenes over historical accuracy. Nonetheless, Sienkiewicz's vivid language made it one of the most popular books about that particular place and era. This is a reprint of an 1898 historical novel.

Notes - 2 volume set
