Ognem i mechom (illiustr. V. Cherny) - Senkevich Genrik E.

A classic of Polish literature, honorary academician of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, Henrik Senkevich was a brilliant historical novelist. Like Hugo, Dumas, Tolstoy, he was able to describe the great events of bygone eras, paying attention and personality to the person who is the creator of these events. In 1905, Senkevich was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature with the wording "For Outstanding Merit in the Field of Epic."
The novel "Fire and Sword" tells about the dramatic events of the 17th century that took place in Ukraine, during the years of the popular uprising under Bogdan Khmelnitsky, which led to the reunification of Ukraine and Russia. This is a fascinating story about harsh times, about brave people, bright characters, exceptional fates.
In this edition for the first time in Russia, the text of the novel is accompanied by brilliant illustrations by the Czech artist Venceslav Cherna.
