Dzieła Adama Mickiewicza – Volume IV: Sonety and Later Works – 19th-Century Polish Edition. An original 19th-century volume from the collected works of Adam Mickiewicz, Poland’s national bard. This is Volume IV of the multi-volume edition Dzieła ("Works"), bound in its original brown cloth cover featuring a portrait of the poet. This volume contains the celebrated "Sonety" (Sonnets), introduced with a quote from Petrarch, followed by other poetic and patriotic works from the mature period of Mickiewicz’s literary career. The book closes with a table of contents and a compelling messianic conclusion on the resurrection of the Polish nation—an ideological cornerstone of Polish Romanticism. Bound in brown cloth with embossed black titles and a printed portrait of Mickiewicz. Printed during the Polish Partitions era, likely in Stanisławów (modern-day Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine), this edition reflects both literary and nationalistic values. Mickiewicz’s use of poetic form to express cultural resistance and religious symbolism makes this volume a significant artifact of Polish Romanticism. A valuable addition for collectors of Slavic literature, 19th-century European poetry, and historical print culture. Size 16x11 cm.
