1st edition

'Only Beatrice is one of the best and most widely read historical novels by Theodor Parnicki. The protagonist - an alumnus of the Cistercian monastery of Wieluń - travels through Poland and Europe at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries in search of the truth about his father. The novel is both a kind of investigation and psychoanalysis. The introduction reveals many of the author's previously unknown inspirations - it perfectly introduces Parnicki's work as a whole, as well as the issues of the novel itself'.
