Crusaders

"Crusaders," one of the best late works of Henryk Sienkiewicz, is the culmination of his many years of reflection on the heroic history of his homeland. The pages of the novel bring to life the events of the decisive stage of the "Great War" – the struggle against the powerful Teutonic Order. The brutal confrontation between the Polish people and the crusaders is organically intertwined with the touching love story of the young nobleman Zbyszko and the beautiful Danusia.
