DESCRIPTION:
"Pan Tadeusz, a recognized masterpiece of Polish Romantic literature, means many different things to different people as it always has in its nearly one-hundred-fifty-year history. For a person unfamiliar with Polish history it will open new vistas in understanding this country's glorious past.". A reader whose ancestors came from Poland at one time or another will search in it for the roots of his national and cultural heritage
Tadeusz Szyszka said Perfect. Perfect, good supplement to the available information. Thank you. Better bone up on your Polish history Karl Janssen Pan Tadeusz is an epic poem written in the Polish language by Adam Mickiewicz. It is considered the national epic of Poland and, though published in 1834, perhaps the last great epic poem in European literature. Although it was written in verse, my review is based on the English prose translation by George Rapall Noyes, published in 1917.Although many Poles consider this to be their count. "Beautiful, nostalgic final epic of the European tradition" according to Theresa M. Kenney. There's a bear hunt but not a lot of military action in this epic, but the scenes of rural nobility and their life in Poland/Lithuania are so evocative and memorable. An unforgettable and beautiful poem by Mickiewicz, one of Poland's most brilliant writers.
