Balady i romanse by Adam Mickiewicz

"Balady i romanse" by Adam Mickiewicz is a collection of ballads published in 1822 in Vilnius as part of his first poetry volume. Considered the beginning of the ballad genre in Polish literature and a manifesto of Polish Romanticism, this work introduces fourteen poems where the supernatural penetrates everyday reality. Set in specific historical locations, these ballads challenge Enlightenment rationalism by depicting a world where mysterious forces judge human actions and enforce moral order, creating atmospheres of eeriness through moonlight, wilderness, and ancient landscapes.
