Pan Tadeusz; or, The Last Foray in Lithuania
Translated by George Rapall Noyes (1917)
Mickiewicz's national epic of the last foray in Lithuania, set in 1811–12 on the eve of Napoleon's invasion of Russia: a quarrel between two noble families, a young man's return to the family estate, and a love story, in twelve books full of hunts, feasts, mushroom-gathering and nostalgia for a vanished Poland.
