The Deluge - Vol. I. - An Historical Novel Of Poland, Sweden And Russia - Paperback

This vintage book contains the first volume of Henryk Sienkiewicz's 1893 historical novel, "The Deluge". Henryk Adam Aleksander Pius Sienkiewicz (1846 - 1916) was a Polish novelist, journalist, and Nobel Prize laureate. He is most famous for his fantastic historical novels, namely the international best-seller "Quo Vadis" (1896). A sequel to "With Fire and Sword", "The Deluge" continues The Trilogy by telling the story of a fictional Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth soldier called Andrzej Kmici, presenting an authentic snapshot of the Commonwealth during the Deluge, a historic section of the Northern Wars. This volume constitutes a must-read for fans of Sienkiewicz's seminal work and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Other notable works by this author include "Without dogma" (1891) and "On the Field of Glory" (1906). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive and we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition.
