“Monsalwat,” whose title refers to the legendary castle guarding the Holy Grail, is one of the most important neo-Romantic treatises of Young Poland. In it, Artur Górski presents Adam Mickiewicz as the nation’s spiritual guide and the creator of the “Polish Grail”—the idea of freedom and mission.

For lovers of Mickiewicz and Young Poland.
