This is a very fine story, with its chief dramatic interest in the events

knowledge. The patriotic purpose of Ivas the Pole is parallelled by the
spiritual mission of Jacob the Jew. Ivas dies a martyr, Jacob is driven
into exile. Kraszewski did not actually take part in this Insurrection,
but he was so suspected and harassed by the Russian authorities that he
had to leave the country, to which he never after was able to return.

Faris.
Forefathers' Eve. pt. 2.
Ballads and other poems.
The Books of the Polish Nation and the Polish pilgrim-
age.
Konrad Wallenrod, pub. in 1828, is a historical tale in verse. Its
theme is the contest between the Lithuanians and the Teutonic
Knights of the Cross, and the hero, Konrad, brings defeat to the
latter by working from within the Order.
Forefathers' Eve, pt. 2, is virtually complete in itself. It depicts
the semi-pagan traditions and customs transferred from immemorial
usage to the observance of All Souls' Day.
Faris, written in 1828, narrates the exploits of a wandering
Bedouin. It was composed in honor of Waclaw Rzewuski, a
Polish traveler noted in the East under the name Emir Tajul-
Fechr ("the Crown of Glory").
The Ballads and other poems are: Romanticism; The Nixie; The
Three Brothers Budrys; The sages; The master of masters; To a
Polish mother.
The Books of the Polish nation and of the Polish pilgrimage,
1832, is addressed to the Polish exiles, especially those in France.
It is written in a religious, mystical vein and sets forth the
consolatory doctrine of Polish Messianism; i. e. as Christ took on
himself the sins of men and died on the Cross to save them, so
Poland was crucified as a guiltless sacrifice for the sins of nations.
The Prayer of the Polish Pilgrims and the accompanying Litany
are among the most moving bits of patriotic literature ever written,
the Litany summarizing in a few words a whole volume of tragic
history.
These translations are said by a competent critic to "stand head
and shoulders above all earlier English versions of Polish poetry. "

N. Y. Dutton. 1917; (Everyman's Library) Lond. J. M.
Dent; N. Y. Dutton. 1930.
Pan Tadeusz is the national epic of Poland. In it, Mickiewicz,
writing in 1832, when Poland's hopes were all destroyed, returned to
the idyllic life of his boyhood, and presents on a thread of simple
romance an encyclopaedia of old-Polish life and habits. The story is
accompanied thruout by echoes of the thunders of Napoleon's wars, and
the hopes and fears of the Poles who took part in them live in the
heart of every person of the poem. It ends with the arrival of
Napoleon's Great Army in Lithuania on its way to Moscow in 1812.
This poem has been portrayed quite faithfully in a movie film, with
titles in Polish and in English

1930.
"This strange, symbolic story of Anhelli, the man-angel, who suffered
and died for Poland as Christ died for the world, was composed by
Slowacki while on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and is told in the
simple and powerful language of the Old Testament. It deals with
the sufferings and miseries of the oppressed Poles and with the ultimate
destinies of Poland; but as an imaginative fantasy, as an example of
beautiful and austere poetic prose, it will appeal to readers who know
little of Poland. "
"Slowacki's poetic imagery, the music and color of his language,
his sombre patriotism, and the germ of his mysticism are all here, and
make a this one of the gems of Polish literature. Mrs. Radin has been
conspicuously successful in reproducing the poetry and beauty of
Slowacki's style. "

youthful page, diverts attention from his master the king, but arouses
wild jealousy on the part of his host, who spares his life only at the
demand of the king and releases him from the castle bound to his
