Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) was a novelist, born in Poland. He studied at Warsaw, traveled in the USA, and in the 1870s began to write articles, short stories, and novels. His major work was a war trilogy about 17th-century Poland, but his most widely known book is the story of Rome under Nero, "Quo Vadis?" (1896), several times filmed. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1905. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Get "On the Sunny Shore" instead, September 9, 2002

This review is from: In Monte Carlo (Paperback)

First things first. This book is the same story as "On the Sunny Shore". A different translator, but otherwise identical. So don't buy both!

Anyway, this is really a short story or novelette. It's well-written, of course, but rather slight. I enjoyed it, but this is my favorite author. I'd recommend only to Sienkiewicz completists.
