Book Overview

""On The Sunny Shore"" is a novel written by the Polish author Henryk Sienkiewicz and first published in 1897. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young Polish nobleman named Stanis�����aw Przybyszewski. After being expelled from university for his radical political views, Stanis�����aw returns to his family estate on the Baltic Sea coast to live with his mother and sister. While there, he becomes involved in a love triangle with two women: the beautiful and wealthy Aniela P�����ocinska, and the intelligent and independent Zosia G�����owacka. As Stanis�����aw struggles to choose between the two women, he also becomes embroiled in the political and social issues of the time, including the struggle for Polish independence and the tensions between the Polish and German communities in the region. ""On The Sunny Shore"" is a complex and nuanced exploration of love, politics, and identity, and is considered one of Sienkiewicz's most important works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
