Sonnets from the Crimea by Adam Mickiewicz
"Sonnets from the Crimea" by Adam Mickiewicz is a series of 18 Polish sonnets published in 1826. These romantic poems chronicle a journey through the Crimea, blending vivid descriptions of oriental landscapes with the inner turmoil of an exiled poet longing for his homeland. Driven from home by violent forces, the speaker wanders as both pilgrim and exile, encountering Eastern culture and nature. This groundbreaking cycle introduced the sonnet form to Polish
literature and inspired generations of Romantic poets. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
