Synopsis
Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 61: February, 1896
HE writing Of Henryk Sienkiewicz is as strong and fresh as the breezes that blow over his own loved steppes. It comes like a voice from the wilderness, recalling the fresh odor of newly ploughed fields, the vigor of young leaves, the sound of wings of birds flying over fallow land to the immense breadth on plains and meadows.
It was by the translation of his historical romances that this Polish novelist became known to the American public. Fire and Sword, The Deluge, and Pan Michael form a sort of Polish trilogy which rises to the dignity of a national epic. What Dumas and Hugo have done in literature for France, and Scott for England, this gifted Pole has achieved for his country. Under his touch the dusty pages of history begin to glow with color, and the faded personages of the dead centuries become men and women of warm flesh and blood, and take on the sem blance of eternal humanity.
