Takiej powieści o Mickiewiczu jeszcze nie było! To nie jest nudna biografia wieszcza, nic z tych rzeczy. To zeznanie pewnej tajemniczej postaci. W tej niesamowitej historii narratorem jest...

When The Far Pavilions was first published 19 years ago, it moved the critic Edmund Fuller to write this: "Were Miss Kaye to produce no other book, The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting accomplishment in a single work comparable to Margaret Mitchell's achievement in Gond With the Wind."

Kaye's masterwork is a vast, rich, and vibrant tapestry of love and war that ranks with the greatest panoramic sagas of modern fiction.
