Autorenporträt

Henryk Adam Aleksander Pius Sienkiewicz was born on May 5, 1846, in Wola Okrzejska, Poland, to parents J zef Sienkiewicz and Stefania Czarnowska. He became one of Poland s most celebrated authors, known for combining national history with literary artistry. Raised in a noble but financially modest family, he was educated in Warsaw, where he studied law, history, and literature. His early work appeared in journals and newspapers, and he eventually traveled abroad, including an extended trip to the United States, where he wrote travel essays and gained insight into broader cultural and political issues. Sienkiewicz gained international acclaim with historical novels such as With Fire and Sword, The Deluge, and Fire in the Steppe, collectively known as The Trilogy. His most widely recognized work is Quo Vadis, a novel set in ancient Rome that earned him global readership and widespread translations. In 1905, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature for his outstanding merits as an epic writer. Through his works, he promoted Polish identity during a time of national partition. Sienkiewicz spent his final years in Switzerland, where he died on November 15, 1916, leaving behind a legacy of patriotism, moral conviction, and literary achievement.
