The translator

One translator, one shelf of classics at a time.

These are the books Polish readers grow up with: the national epic, the great realist and school novels, the plays the theatres keep returning to, and the strange, inventive fiction of the Young Poland years. Some have been translated before; this library brings them together in new, complete translations in clear modern English.

AI-assisted translation, prepared and edited by Valentin Sarić. The translations are made from the original Polish texts, complete and unabridged, with translator's notes and endnotes on history, places and customs. Verse is translated line for line.
