Adam Mickiewicz (17981855), Poland'S National Poet, Was One Of The Extraordinary Personalities Of The Age. In Chronicling The Events Of His Lifehis Travels, Numerous Loves, A Troubled Marriage, Years Spent As A Member Of A Heterodox Religious Sect, And Friendships With Such Luminaries Of The Time As Aleksandr Pushkin, James Fenimore Cooper, George Sand, Giuseppe Mazzini, Margaret Fuller, And Aleksandr Herzenroman Koropeckyj Draws A Portrait Of The Polish Poet As A Quintessential European Romantic.Spanning Five Decades Of One Of The Most Turbulent Periods In Modern European History, Mickiewicz'S Life And Works At Once Reflected And Articulated The Cultural And Political Upheavals Marking Postnapoleonic Europe. After A Poetic Debut In His Native Lithuania That Transformed The Face Of Polish Literature, He Spent Five Years Of Exile In Russia For Engaging In Polish 'Patriotic' Activity. Subsequently, His Grand Tour Of Europe Was Interrupted By His Country'S 1830 Uprising Against Russia; His Failure To Take Part In It Would Haunt Him For The Rest Of His Life. For The Next Twenty Years Mickiewicz Shared The Fate Of Other Polish Migrs In The West. It Was Here That He Wrote Forefathers' Eve, Part 3 (1832) And Pan Tadeusz (1834), Arguably The Two Most Influential Works Of Modern Polish Literature. His Reputation As His Country'S Most Prominent Poet Secured Him A Position Teaching Latin Literature At The Academy Of Lausanne And Then The First Chair Of Slavic Literature At The Collge De France. In 1848 He Organized A Polish Legion In Italy And Upon His Return To Paris Founded A Radical Frenchlanguage Newspaper. His Final Days Were Devoted To Forming A Polish Legion In Istanbul.This Richly Illustrated Biographythe First Scholarly Biography Of The Poet To Be Published In English Since 1911Draws Extensively On Diaries, Memoirs, Correspondence, And The Poet'S Literary Texts To Make Sense Of A Life As Sublime As It Was Tragic. It Concludes With A Description Of The Solemn Transfer Of Mickiewicz'S Remains In 1890 From Paris To Cracow, Where He Was Interred In The Royal Cathedral Alongside Poland'S Kings And Military Heroes.
