Second edition of a three-volume collection of genre-diverse prose and reflective works, showing both the author's literary imagination and his historical and social interests. This publication is a kind of "literary melting pot" - a testament to Kraszewski's creative range, who was able to combine lyricism with humor, pathos with social reflection, and personal reverie with literary creation.

Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski - one of the most prolific writers in the history of Polish literature. During 57 years of creative work, he wrote 232 novels, of which 144 were works on social, moral and folk themes, and 88 - on historical themes. In total, his oeuvre comprises some 600 volumes, not counting edited journals, numerous articles and extensive private correspondence.
