POLISH' LITERATURE
Sienkiewicz, Henryk--Continued
The deluge; an historical novel of Poland, Sweden, and
Russia; a sequel to With fire and sword; tr. by Jeremiah
Curtin. 2v. Bost. Little, Brown. 1891.
This long novel, the second of the Trilogy, deals with the period
of the Swedish invasion. It is a thrilling tale and the description of
the siege of Czenstochowa, the Polish shrine, is a classic.
Hania; tr. by Jeremiah Curtin. Bost. Little, Brown. 1897.
Two previous volumes, "On the Bright Shore" and "Let us follow
Him" are included.
In desert and wilderness; tr. by Max A. Drezmal. Bost.
Little, Brown. 1912. Same, with illustrations by Rem-
ington Schuyler. Bost. Little, Brown. 1923.
This, the author's last novel, is' perhaps the most charming of all
his writings, and is enjoyed equally by children and adults. It is the
story of two children, a Polish boy and an English girl, who escape
from captivity at the hands of the Mahdi, and in the course of their
long trek across the African wilderness, accumulate elephants, servants,
weapons and a whole caravan, triumphantly overcoming insuperable
difficulties. It is as convincing as Robinson Crusoe.
Knights of the cross; tr. by Jeremiah Curtin. 2v. Bost.
Little, Brown. 1930.
Same; tr. by S. A. Binion. 3v. N. Y. Fenno. 1900.

1897.
Same; a special translation. N. Y. Street. 1900.
A picture of the contest with the Teutonic Knights is here presented
on a crowded canvas. Yurand of Spyhov is the incarnation of vengeance
and then of divine forgiveness. The death of the beloved and saintly
Queen Jadwiga forms an unforgettable chapter in the first part of the
book.

This work was designed by the author as the beginning of a new
Trilogy, in which he would have celebrated the Polish rescue of Vienna;
but only the first volume was written; it therefore gives a sense of
incompleteness.

and Turkey; a sequel to With fire and sword and The

Same; tr. by S. A. Binion. Phil. Altemus. 1898.
Pan Michael--Mr. Michael--the little knight with the tender heart
and the fierce mustaches, here crowns the incredible deeds of the
Trilogy with a hero's death.
Quo vadis; a tale of the time of Nero; tr. by J. Curtin.

Same; tr. by W. E. Smith. N. Y. Ogilvie. 1898.
Same; tr. by S. A. Binion and S. Malevsky. Phil. Altemus.
1897.
Quo Vadis first gave the author fame outside his own country. It is
a dramatic presentation of the conflict between decaying Roman civiliza-
tion and the rising moral power of Christianity. Considered one of the
world's masterpieces, it has been translated into all languages and has
carried the author's name to readers who knew nothing of his great
Polish cycle.
Sielanka; a forest picture; and other stories; tr. by J.
Curtin. Bost. Little, Brown. 1898.
This volume and "Hania" contain all the short stories previously
published under separate titles. All are interesting and some are quite
delightful.
Whirlpools; tr. by Max A. Drezmal. Bost. Little, Brown.
1910.
With fire and sword; tr. by Jeremiah Curtin. Bost. Little,
Brown. 1890.
Same; tr. by Samuel A. Binion. N. Y. Crowell. 1905.
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
American publisher is Little, Brown and Company, Boston.

Poland. 11:531. S. '30.
The vision of Sakura. In Poland. 9:270. My. '28.
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.

work.
Weyssenhoff, Jozef. 1860-
The sable and the girl; tr. by Kate Zuk-Skarszewska.
Lond. Allen and Unwin. 1929.
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.
