Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) was a Polish writer and patriot. He is best known abroad for his historical epic Quo Vadis. Without Dogma is the story of a man's inner conflict. He is a pessimistic man who views life instead of entering into it. On one hand he is an emotional and active man while on the other he is self contemplating and critical. "If this were all the book offers us one might well wonder why it was written. But its real interest centres in the moment when the cultivated pessimist "without dogma" discovers that the strongest and most genuine emotion of his life is its love for another man's wife. It is an old theme; certainly two thirds of our modern French novels deal with it; we know exactly how the conventional, respectable British novel would handle it. But here is a treatment, bold, original, and unconventional. The character of the woman stands out in splendid contrast to the man's. Its simplicity, strength, truth, and faith are the antidote for his doubt and weakness. Her very weakness becomes her strength. Her dogmatism saves him."
With Fire and Sword, The Deluge & Pan Michael by Henryk Sienkiewicz Pdf
With Fire and Sword is a historical fiction novel, set in the 17th century in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth during the Khmelnytsky Uprising. It gained enormous popularity in Poland, and by the turn of the 20th century had become one of the most popular Polish books ever. _x000D_ The second book, The Deluge, describes the Swedish invasion of Poland in the mid 17th century known as The Deluge, which followed the Khmelnytsky Uprising._x000D_ The final novel, Pan Michael, follows wars between Poland and the Ottoman Empire in the late 17th century._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_
The third and final book of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s Trilogy takes a closer and more intimate look at one of the series’ protagonists: Pan Michael Volodyovski. The Polish Commonwealth has been through intense periods of war, and the peace that follows leaves one of its greatest heroes, Pan Michael, finally free to marry his beloved Panna Anusia. But in a twist of fate, she falls ill and dies, leaving Michael despairing of life—to the point of him joining a monastery. His friends, shocked at the loss of the great knight which has now left the Commonwealth unprotected, hatch a plan to bring him back to his true calling. As with many of the characters in the Trilogy, Michael is fictional but based heavily on historical record: his character’s exploits and circumstances owe a lot to the real Polish knight Jerzy Wołodyjowski, who was also in Jan Sobieski’s cavalry. Pan Michael was, like the other books in the Trilogy, initially serialized in Sienkiewicz’s newspaper Słowo, before being collected into a novel five years later in 1893. The book, and the Trilogy as a whole, was very well received, and allowed Sienkiewicz to resign his editorial post to focus on his novels. The novel was the first of the Trilogy to be filmed (as 1969’s Colonel Wolodyjowski), and it was also later converted into a successful television series in Poland. This edition is based on the 1893 translation by Jeremiah Curtin. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Whirlpools by Henryk Sienkiewicz,Max A. Drezmal Pdf
"THE work of Henryk Sienkiewicz naturally falls into two distinct classes: the purely historical novels which became so famous "Quo Vadis"; and the modern character analyses, among the most notable of which were "Without Dogma," "The Children of the Soil" and "The Family of Polanyetski." It was in commenting on "The Children of the Soil" that the late Charles Dudley Warner wrote: "This author I regard as the greatest of living novelists, both in range, in grasp of historical situations and in intuition and knowledge of human nature."Henryk Sienkiewicz's book, "Whirlpools," has been translated by Max A. Drezmal, deals exclusively with conditions of modern life in Poland. It is full of brilliant dialogue and keen dissection of human motives besides showing the author to be a very close observer of recent agrarian troubles and socialistic politics in Poland. The translation seems to be very well done. In connection with a socialist uprising, Sienkiewicz has portrayed the keen suffering and struggles of warring elements. Poland, "buried beneath the whirlpools of sand, possesses a bottomless depth of suffering," — also a loyalty which says: "We will set our teeth and will continue to suffer for Thee, and will not renounce Thee nor Hope." The story is told with the author's customary power and directness; the dialog is often brilliant, and a searching light is shed on the motives and actions of an interesting group of characters in the development of an absorbing love story to its inevitable conclusion.
