Summary "Leivän haussa" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Wawrzon Toporek, a Polish peasant, and his daughter Marysia as they embark on a journey to America in search of a better life, leaving behind their homeland filled with memories and challenges. The narrative delves into themes of migration, identity, and the harsh realities of immigrant life. The opening of the novel sets the scene aboard the German ship "Blücher," which is en route from Hamburg to New York. As the ship sails across the Atlantic, Wawrzon and Marysia struggle with their feelings of fear and uncertainty. Wawrzon, holding onto his daughter, reflects on their departure from Lipince while Marysia grapples with homesickness and memories of a young man named Jasko. Disaster looms as they encounter a storm, leading to a harrowing experience that tests their resolve. The initial chapters poignantly capture their conflicting emotions of hope and despair as they face the daunting unknown of their journey to America. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
