Hardcover. Condizione: good. First Printing. 334 pages. Name of previous owner present. Boards somewhat worn and soiled. Regarded as the most outstanding and prolific Polish writer of the second half of the nineteenth century, the 1905 Nobel Prize winner, Henryk Sienkiewicz is perhaps best known for his epic historical novel Quo Vadis, which depicts early Christianity and the persecutions. Sienkiewicz was known for his gigantic scenes, bright contrasts and the epic sweep of his works. He was a master in creating mass-action scenes and battles. Sienkiewicz was adept at combining truth with fiction, and this novel contains fictional names interspersed with historical characters. This novel was the first of a planned trilogy of Poland in the seventeenth century, a time in which King John Sobieski III of Poland came to the rescue of Vienna and defeated the Turkish armies besieging it. Sienkiewicz died in 1916, before he could write the second and third volumes of the trilogy.
