Where Empires Burn: Carlini Classics Reintroduces Henryk Sienkiewicz

NEW YORK - July 11, 2026 - PRLog -- Henryk Sienkiewicz wrote as if history were still burning—turning sieges, empires, romances, and moral struggles into fiction of overwhelming scale and urgency. Winner of the 1905 Nobel Prize in Literature "because of his outstanding merits as an epic writer," he remains one of the great architects of the historical novel, a writer who gave the past motion, grandeur, and human consequence.

Carlini Classics now presents a major new Sienkiewicz series featuring On the Field of Glory, Hania, Quo Vadis, Knights of the Cross, Children of the Soil, The Deluge, Desert and Wilderness, Pan Michael, With Fire and Sword, and Without Dogma. Across these books—ranging from the great Polish trilogy and Quo Vadis to psychological and adventure novels—readers encounter battles and empires, but also private doubt, love, faith, and national memory.

The covers were designed by Annabella Hong, a graphic design and art student of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Her painterly illustrations and elegant typography give each volume a distinct emotional atmosphere—flames and intertwined figures for Quo Vadis, steel and armor for Knights of the Cross, roses and a half-hidden face for Hania, and nesting storks for Children of the Soil—while creating a unified, contemporary visual identity for the series.

With these new editions, Carlini Classics invites readers to rediscover a Nobel laureate whose novels make history feel immediate and human, without sacrificing sweep, color, or epic grandeur.

The Henryk Sienkiewicz series from Carlini Classics is available now through Casa Carlini, major booksellers, and Amazon.
