Henryk Sienkiewicz

Hippocrene Books, 1995

Two out of three ain't bad when they're this good.
"The Little Trilogy" is three loosely related stories from the pen of Henryk Sienkiewicz, most famous for "Quo Vadis" and his Trilogy. I discovered Sienkiewicz through "With Fire and Sword", the first book of the Trilogy, and I have been stalking his remaining ...

Fire in the Steppe [Pan Wolodyjowski] (The Trilogy, Book III)

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Copernicus Society of America / Hippocrene Books, 1992

Wonderful Epics and Don't be Afraid of Epics
I am not Polish or of Polish descent nor does one have to be to read and enjoy these masterpieces. I could not put down any of the books in this series. The heroes, the villians and the women were enthralling. I particularly enjoyed the Catholic Christian aspect of the ...

With Fire and Sword, Vol. 1

Henryk Sienkiewicz, Samuel A. Binion

Fredonia Books (NL), 2002

one of the best historical novels ever
If you've read only "Quo Vadis" (or not even that one) by Sienkiewicz, you must read this one. It's not set in the same time but much later, in the Medieval Poland, a strange mix of civilisation (it was the only real democracy in those times' Europe - even the king was ...

With Fire and Sword

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Collier Books, 1993

Restored Classic
Ask around a bit and you'll find no shortage of folks, men in particular, who became readers via their encounters in youth with class adventure tales: The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, Ivanhoe, the Lord of the Rings, etc. ask again and you'll find almost ...

Quo Vadis

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Norilana Books, 2006

A must-read, in Polish or in translation
Probably one of the greatest books ever written in Polish. Makes one see why Sienkiewicz received a Nobel Prize in literature. Great story, set in 1st century Rome during the persecution of the first Christians. Its themes are timeless: finding good in the midst of ...

The Teutonic Knights

Henryk Sienkiewicz, Miroslaw Lipinksi (Editor)

Hippocrene Books, 1996

Sienkiewicz, Poland's National Hero of Literature
The sheer volume of this book was in itself discouraging. The amount of information contained in this book was just staggering. It really took an effort to remember the name of each character, the name of the towns they visited and to follow the intricate plot as the ...

Quo Vadis
Henryk Sienkiewicz

Norilana Books, 2006

Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) won the 1905 Nobel Prize in Literature. A brilliant Polish writer and patriot, he is possibly best known abroad for his monumental historical epic Quo Vadis that portrays the vibrant and dissonant combination of cruel excesses and decadence of Rome during the reign of the corrupt Emperor Nero and the high faith of ...

With Fire and Sword, Vol. 2: A Tale of the Past

Henryk Sienkiewicz, Samuel A. Binion

Fredonia Books (NL), 2002

Ignore the Ukrainian axe grinders, the book is great
This is a fantastic book that comes highly recommended, as you will see by reading the full set of 40+ reviews. There are about 3 Ukrainian-Americans, however, who have gone through every review and panned it out of ethnic axe grinding. A shame. Whatever you view on ...

Quo Vadis

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Hippocrene Books, 1997

Superb work of literature!
"Quo Vadis" is one of my favorite works of literature. The characterization is generally very well executed and the plot was able to hold my interest throughout. Sienkiewicz created characters who are sure to be loved or supremely disliked by the audience and several ...

The Deluge: An Historical Novel of Poland, Sweden, and Russia, Vol. 1

Henryk Sienkiewicz, Jeremiah Curtin

Fredonia Books, 2004

Outstanding, with lessons for today
The stormy romance between Andei Kmicic and Olenka Billevich seems like an allegory of the relationship between the Polish szlachta and Poland itself. The petty squabbling, quarreling, and self-serving behavior of the szlachta alienates them from their country as ...

On the Field of Glory

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Hippocrene Books, 2000

I wish the trilogy had been written!
First of all, as much as I love this book, I'd suggest that the first Henryk Sienkiewicz book a person should read be either Quo Vadis or With Fire and Sword. They are long but worth it. This book - incredible as it is - is almost just a fragment compared with the ...

Quo Vadis, A Narrative of the Time of Nero (Volume 2)
Henryk Sienkiewicz

Little, Brown & Company, 1897

A Narrative of the Time of Nero

Quo Vadis : A Narrative of the Time of Nero
Henryk Sienkiewicz

CreateSpace, 2008

Quo Vadis tells of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Ligia (or Lygia), and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician. It takes place in the city of Rome under the rule of emperor Nero around AD 64. Sienkiewicz studied the Roman Empire extensively prior to writing the novel, with the aim of getting historical details correct. As ...

Sienkiewicz is brilliant
