The Deluge by Henryk Sienkiewicz

Description

The Deluge is a book by Henryk Sienkiewicz, first published in 1886. This sweeping historical adventure forms the second volume of Sienkiewicz’s celebrated Trilogy, a landmark of 19th-century Polish literature. Drawing on real events from the Swedish invasion of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the novel blends vivid historical detail with the author’s gift for compelling storytelling. Sienkiewicz, later awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, wrote these works to strengthen cultural identity during a period of national upheaval, and The Deluge remains one of his most influential contributions. At the heart of the story is Andrzej Kmicic, a spirited nobleman whose turbulent loyalties and personal journey unfold against the backdrop of war, betrayal, and shifting alliances. Readers are drawn into an immersive tale of conflict, heroism, and moral struggle, all rooted in the grand tradition of historical fiction. With its fast-paced narrative, rich world-building, and enduring themes, The Deluge appeals to anyone seeking classic adventure, epic battles, and deep character drama within a meticulously researched historical setting. This translation by Jeremiah Curtin was first published in 1891.
