This is the grand work of Polish literature, and it is one that elevates Mickiewicz to a position among the "great Europeans" such as Dante and Goethe.

Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855), Poland's national poet, was one of the extraordinary personalities of the age. In chronicling the events of his life-his travels, numerous loves, a troubled marriage, ...years spent as a member of a heterodox religious sect, and friendships with such luminaries of the time as Aleksandr Pushkin, James Fenimore Cooper, George Sand, Giuseppe Mazzini, Margaret Fuller, and Aleksandr Herzen-Roman Koropeckyj draws a portrait of the Polish poet as a quintessential European Romantic.
Spanning five decades of one of the most turbulent periods in modern European history, Mickiewicz's life and works at once reflected and articulated the cultural and political upheavals marking post-Napoleonic Europe. After a poetic debut in his native Lithuania that transformed the face of Polish literature, he spent five years of exile in Russia for engaging in Polish "patriotic" activity. Subsequently, his grand tour of Europe was interrupted by his country's 1830 uprising against Russia; his failure to take part in it would haunt him for the rest of his life. For the next twenty years Mickiewicz shared the fate of other Polish émigrés in the West. It was here that he wroteForefathers' Eve, part 3 (1832) andPan Tadeusz(1834), arguably the two most influential works of modern Polish literature. His reputation as his country's most prominent poet secured him a position teaching Latin literature at the Academy of Lausanne and then the first chair of Slavic Literature at the Collége de France. In 1848 he organized a Polish legion in Italy and upon his return to Paris founded a radical French-language newspaper. His final days were devoted to forming a Polish legion in Istanbul.
This richly illustrated biography-the first scholarly biography of the poet to be published in English since 1911-draws extensively on diaries, memoirs, correspondence, and the poet's literary texts to make sense of a life as sublime as it was tragic. It concludes with a description of the solemn transfer of Mickiewicz's remains in 1890 from Paris to Cracow, where he was interred in the Royal Cathedral alongside Poland's kings and military heroes.

Published within two years of each other in the early 1920s, the Hebrew poet Shaul Tshernikhovski's sonnet sequence "Crimea" and the Yiddish poet Perets Markish's sonnet sequence "Chatyr-Dag" are ...important studies in the image and significance of wandering in contemporary Jewish literature. Crimea holds a powerful interest for these two poets as a locus of discussion about land and territory, about the connection (or lack thereof) of Jews to a landscape that is in a sense "beyond the Pale," both familiar and exotic, and a place of personal escape or refuge in these poets' own biographies. Moreover, their conscious engagement with the great Eastern European literary landmarks of Crimea -Alexander Pushkin's "The Fountain of Bakhchisaray" and Adam Mickiewicz's "Crimean Sonnets" - makes these important texts for understanding Jewish cultural movement in the early twentieth century.
