HETMAN STANISŁAW ŻÓŁKIEWSKI

Warsaw 1927, J. Mianowski Fund Publishing House, p. 419, format 17x25cm

"With the glory of his virtues and great works, Zolkiewski illuminated the reign of Sigismund III. He was the personification of ancient Roman virtue, shining in the halo of Christianity. In his person, he combined the qualities of a defender of the homeland and a statesman capable of igniting citizens to defend it and encouraging them to repair its needs and deficiencies. Thanks to his toil, the king's solemnity grew and the homeland achieved triumphs and stood ready to cooperate in the unraveling of Europe's most important tasks, while its complicity was sought by powers and peoples." Excerpt from the text.

"The author, a Lviv historian, presents the figure of Hetman against the background of the era. He highlights his military talents and emphasizes how much he owed to the political talents of Chancellor Jan Zamoyski. This work is considered by many to be the best on Hetman Stanislaw Zolkiewski."
