Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"Żywila: Powiastka z Dziejów Litewskich" by Adam Mickiewicz is a tale written in 1818. Set in medieval Lithuania around 1400, the story follows Żywila, the beautiful daughter of Prince Koryat, who refuses all noble suitors while secretly meeting with Poray, her father's trusted warrior. When her father discovers her hidden love and imprisons her, a Russian invasion forces impossible choices between love, loyalty, and homeland. This early work in classicist style later inspired Mickiewicz's major works. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
