Most highly recommended.- Paul E. Fighting in this epic conflict, Yan Skshetuski, commander of armored knights in the prince's army, falls in love with the beautiful Helen, only to have her stolen by the Cossacks.

"one of the best historical novels ever" according to Silmarillion. If you've read only "Quo Vadis" (or not even that one) by Sienkiewicz, you must read this one. It's not set in the same time but much later, in the Medieval Poland, a strange mix of civilisation (it was the only real democracy in those times' Europe - even the king was elected by poll!) and savagery. The Chistian Pollons - the most fervent of Catholics even now - of the Middle Eve show alternate sensi. Grand epic adventure tale worth 6 stars and a Nobel prize Raymond Dragon This is a classic of world literature. With Fire and Sword is grouped rightly with The Three Musketeers, Ivanhoe and Gone with the Wind as a grand historical epic adventure. But in some ways, it is so much more.The world it recreates of the great Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is filled with gallant knights, fierce Tartars warriors, wild Cossacks, witchcraft practitioners and great princes.
