With Fire And Sword

With Fire and Sword

by Henryk Sienkiewicz

Set in 17th century Poland, 'With Fire and Sword' depicts the turbulent times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the Khmelnytsky Uprising. The book follows the lives of several noblemen, including Jan Skrzetuski, a knight torn between his love for Helena and his duty to his country, Michael Volodyovski, a skilled swordsman, and Longin Podbipięta, a giant of a man who falls in love despite his vow to remain single until a great feat in battle. They navigate the chaos of war, confront the dangers of the Cossack rebellion and Tartar invasions, and grapple with their own personal desires and commitments in a world ravaged by violence and uncertainty.
