Henryk Sienkiewicz
1846-1916
His works |
|
Henryk Sienkiewicz was the first Polish author to receive the award
for literature, in 1905, four years after the
first Nobel Prize. He wrote about the most heroic and tragic episodes of Polish
history. His best known work is Quo Vadis? (1896), an analogy of his compatriots
and Russia to the early Christians and Imperial Rome but his greatest work
is the trilogy With Fire and Sword, The Deluge and Pan Wolodyjowski (1883-1888).
In his day, his country had ceased to exist politically. Through his historical
writings he was, as he said, the Ambassador of Poland to the world at large.
