Pan Tadeusz, written by Adam Mickiewicz, is a Polish national epic set in the early 19th century during the Napoleonic era. The poem narrates the story of two feuding noble families, Soplica and Horeszko, who seek reconciliation through the love between Tadeusz Soplica and Zosia Horeszko. Against the backdrop of the Polish-Lithuanian countryside, the work explores themes of patriotism, honor, and cultural identity. It culminates in a climactic resolution of family tensions and a hopeful anticipation of Poland's independence. Written in twelve books, Pan Tadeusz captures the spirit, traditions, and aspirations of the Polish people.
