A powerful novel of post-war adjustment--the effort to reestablish
normal business, family and social relations after years as prisoners of
war in far off Turkestan; the revolt from restraint, the wild yearnings
to_ break loose; the necessity to earn a living; the calls of conflicting
friendships; the upsurge of memories and claims from those detached
years as a prisoner, all beating at once on frazzled nerves and lives
whose purposes have been either shattered or undermined by the
futility of war, by the feeling of a universe of futility.

This is the first volume of the famous Trilogy, in which the author
has presented in fiction form, with a wealth of incident and detail, the
record of the heroic wars waged by Poland in the 17th century against
her various invaders. This volume deals with the revolt of th*;
Cossacks on the Ukrainian border: The Deluge follows with the Swedish
invasion, and Pan Michael records the valiant deeds of the men who
defended against the Turk. Many of the characters are historical per-
sonages and are presented with fidelity to history, so far as their
recorded deeds are concerned, and with the novelist's license in regard
to their personal affairs. In With Fire and Sword, Pan Jan's search
for his betrothed furnishes the thread of romance on which are strung
the beads of description and adventure. In The Deluge, another hero,
Kmita, redeems the errors of a thotless past, and by heroic deeds in
defence of Czenstochowa wins forgiveness from king and lady. Pan
Michael, having contributed his generous part to these accomplish-
ments, carries his faithful heart to the Borderland where disaster stalks
his steps.
Without dogma; a novel of modern Poland; tr. by Isa
Young. Bost. Little, Brown. 1906.
A psychological portrait of an ultra-modern hero, whose chief char-
acteristic is an irresolution, presented as typical of an age of crumbling
faith and outworn ideals.
There have been numerous other editions of various works by
Sienkiewicz. Only the most important are listed here. The authorized

This author may be considered the link between two generations of
writers. Exiled to a remote portion of Siberia in youth, his first
important work was Twelve years among the Yakuts, which gave him
position and standing as a scientific observer. In 1930 he was one of
the official representatives sent by a the Polish government to the _ un-
veiling of the Pulaski monument in Savannah, Ga. He has written
many novels, most of them based upon the exotic things he has witnessed
and places he has visited in the course of his long exile. Now he is
honored as the Nestor of Polish writers.

A poem in prose rather than a novel, a hymn in praise of youth
and health and the Lithuanian countryside, the habits and customs of
bird and beast, all the strong and intimate impressions of nature.
Against the many beautiful descriptive passages is set the simple,
tragic love of Michael, the young aristocrat, and Varsulka, the peasant
girl.
