Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz is a narrative poem in twelve books, set among the Polish-Lithuanian gentry in 1811–1812. It portrays the customs, conflicts, loves and daily life of that world, with echoes of the Napoleonic era. It is worth hearing for its vivid verse, humour and nostalgic picture of a vanishing world.
