Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855) was an outstanding Polish poet, translator, and founder of the new Polish literature and language. It is placed next to Byron and Goethe. Mickiewicz's role for Polish literature can be compared to that of slushevchenko for Ukrainian literature. The life fate of the poet — fighter, Knight, nobleman — is organically woven into the history of Poland and the Polish national liberation movement. The leitmotif of yoga, as M. Rylsky admits, was "sacrificial and effective service to the Fatherland." The events in the poem "Pan Tadeusz" take place at the beginning of the XIX century in a rich manor house in Lithuania. Mickiewicz humorously and sadly depicts the world of noble antiquity, not hiding its vices, understanding its historical doom and at the same time admiring its colorfulness, shows unforgettable Polish types that gradually disappear, and the younger generation. Under the pen of a brilliant pole, the history of the dispute between old Polish families over a dilapidated castle, somewhat ridiculous and sad, unfolded into a whole encyclopedia of noble Customs and everyday life at the turn of the XVIII—XIX centuries. The poem develops from a romantic style into a broad epic picture that contains many vivid descriptions of nature, cultural and historical nuances of poha and Polish culture.
