關於作者
Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846–1916) was a master of Polish literature, whose work has enthralled readers for over a century. Born in Wola Okrzejska, in what was then Russian-controlled Poland, Sienkiewicz was educated in Warsaw and developed a deep sense of patriotism that later suffused his writing. He embarked on a career in journalism, which proved a springboard for his literary aspirations. Sienkiewicz's magnum opus is undoubtedly the epic historical novel 'With Fire and Sword' (Ogniem i Mieczem, 1884), the first in his acclaimed Trilogy depicting 17th-century Polish history, teeming with heroic deeds and national turmoil. The novel stands as a testament to Sienkiewicz's remarkable storytelling ability and his skillful interweaving of fact and fiction, a technique that allowed him to recreate the past with vivid descriptive power and to forge a sense of national identity for his countrymen. Sienkiewicz's literary style combines romanticism with a patriotic fervor imbued with universal human values. A Nobel laureate in Literature in 1905, Sienkiewicz is praised not only for his significant contribution to Polish literature but also for his ability to capture the hearts of an international audience through his compelling narratives and distinctive historical insight. His other major works, 'Potop' (The Deluge, 1886) and 'Pan Wołodyjowski' (Fire in the Steppe, 1888), further attest to his grand literary legacy.
