[crutledge]

Henryk Adam Aleksander Pius Sienkiewicz (Polish: [ˈxɛnrɨk ˈadam alɛˈksandɛr ˈpʲus ɕɛnˈkʲevʲit͡ʂ]; also known by the pseudonym "Litwos" [ˈlitfɔs]; 5 May 1846 – 15 November 1916) was a Polish journalist, Nobel Prize-winning novelist, and philanthropist. He is best remembered for his historical novels.

Excerpt
The brichka, moving slowly along the soft sandy road, entered at last a dark alley, spotted only here and there by the moonlight, which pushed in between the leaves. Beyond the alley, night watches whistled; and in the open was seen a white dwelling, in which some windows were lighted. When the brichka rattled up to the entrance, a serving-man hurried out of the house and began to assist Pan Stanislav to alight; but in addition the night watch appeared and two white dogs, evidently very young and friendly, for, instead of barking, they began to fawn and to spring on the guest, showing such delight at his coming that the watch had to moderate their effusiveness with a stick.

Hello crutledge,

Any chance you might post Sienkiewicz's "Knights of the Cross?" I've had a difficult time finding the complete novel in e-book form. It was published in English (at least one version) in two volumes. The first volume is around as an e-book but leaves most of the plot lines unresolved!

Anyway, I've worked a bit on an epub file that mashes up two different books so I can read the entire novel. I do not have the paper originals, so I can't verify my editing, and this might render it unfit for public release. Still, let me know if you're interested in seeing it.

Thanks for all the books you have brought here!

I checked, and should get to "Knights of the Cross?" in a couple of days

Thank you, Charlie. Looks like you used the cliff-hanger version as well.

Did you notice a new Sienkiewicz title has dropped at Gutenberg just this week? It is called "In Vain."
