This is an automatically translated description

The appearance of a translation of Adam Mickiewicz's dramatic poem Dziady is a good and important event. Both because it is published for the first time entirely under one cover, and because it unites generations and times, peoples and ideas, countries and territories, creative thoughts and pressing life problems, passes through the ages and covers a vast expanse of individual and collective history and consciousness, personal destiny and the social role of a strong, indomitable personality, including the artist.

The scale of the aesthetic, artistic, philosophical, historical problems raised in it, the broad themes and appeal to folklore, which expresses the folk understanding of goodness, justice and the value of human life, and attention to national issues, complex cyclic structure, and the problems that were relevant in Mickiewicz's time, the poem goes far beyond national literature, referring to the European experience of many nations that in the nineteenth century responded to the historical and political situation of the time and to the understanding of man and his purpose.
