Pan Tadeusz

Pan Tadeusz, published in 1834, is the national epic of Poland, written in verse by Adam Mickiewicz. Set in the early 19th century during the Napoleonic era, the poem nostalgically portrays the lives of the Polish gentry, interweaving a romantic subplot, political intrigue, and reflections on patriotism. Rich in imagery, humor, and cultural detail, Pan Tadeusz is a celebration of Polish identity and rural tradition. Its lyrical beauty and historical significance have earned it a cherished place in Polish literature.
