Anthony Libera's masterfully written novel has become a notable phenomenon in the history of Polish literature. Madame tells the story of a Warsaw high school student's infatuation with his unapproachable French teacher in the late 1960s.

The young protagonist, tired of the routine of school life, is fascinated by the new headmistress, a French teacher - an elegant "older woman" (in her thirties) who captivates him with her beauty and intelligence. The boy decides to learn everything about the beautiful Madame and win her heart. He learns about politics, the Polish People's Republic, the Spanish Civil War, and his own passion for theatre and the art of words. His efforts to get closer to Madame become his first steps towards liberation as an artist.
