Henryk Sienkiewicz

    5 maggio 1846 – 15 novembre 1916

    Henryk Sienkiewicz fu un giornalista e romanziere polacco celebrato per le sue epiche narrazioni storiche. Si sforzò meticolosamente di ricreare l'autenticità del linguaggio storico nelle sue opere, ambientando spesso le sue storie durante la Confederazione polacco-lituana. I suoi romanzi sono caratterizzati da vivide rappresentazioni del passato e personaggi avvincenti, che gli hanno valso il plauso internazionale e il Premio Nobel per la Letteratura per i suoi eccezionali meriti di scrittore epico.
