Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz
"Pan Tadeusz" by Adam Mickiewicz is an epic poem first published in 1834. Set in occupied Lithuania during 1811-1812, it tells the story of two feuding noble families and the romance between young Tadeusz Soplica and Zosia. Their love unfolds against a backdrop of bitter family rivalry, a mysterious murder from the past, and a spontaneous uprising against Russian forces. This masterwork of Polish literature weaves together personal drama and national struggle,
capturing a vanished world on the eve of historic change. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
