Ogniem i mieczem: Book Guide, Author and Facts
Ogniem i mieczem by Henryk Sienkiewicz — plot, author, genre and where to read, in one evergreen guide.
Goodwill in the seventeenth century Polish Commonwealth has been stretched thin due to the nobility’s perceived and real oppression of the less well-off members. When the situation reaches its inevitable breaking point, it sparks the taking up of arms by the Cossacks against the Polish nobility and a spiral of violence that engulfs the entire state. This background provides the canvas for vividly painted narratives of heroism and heartbreak of both the knights and the hetmans swept up in the struggle.
