HENRYK SIENKIEWICZ: POTOP [1971] – VOLUMES I-III IN 2 VOLUMES

Description

A classic edition of the second installment of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s famous Trilogy – a masterpiece of Polish historical literature, honored with the Nobel Prize for Literature. The Deluge is not only a gripping tale of the fate of Andrzej Kmicic and Olenka Billewiczówna, but above all a monumental panorama of 17th-century Poland at the time of the Swedish invasion.

The 1971 edition presented here, based on a sound philological study, is the standard of post-war Sienkiewicz editing. The work is divided into three volumes, here bound in two elegant volumes (Volume I-II and Volume III), providing an excellent basis for a luxurious bibliophilic binding. It is an item combining the highest literary qualities with the artistry of modern bookbinding, ideal for representative home libraries.

A copy in a luxurious full leather binding from the bindery of the Polish Antiquarian. Handmade using fine natural leather, decorated according to the classical bookbinding canon. This binding gives Sienkiewicz’s work durability for generations and a prestigious, cabinet-like character.
