One of the most interesting and most significant books about the Caucasus written by Poles. Mateusz Gralewski is an extremely interesting personality, although almost unknown to the modern generation of Poles. And it’s a shame, since his texts are excellent examples of the emergence of the genre of reportage in Polish literature. Gralewski is an outstanding predecessor of Ryszard Kapuscinski, Wojciech Jagielski and Wojciech Górecki. The author paid a high price for the struggle for the independence of his homeland: for his conspiratorial activities he was exiled deep into the Caucasus. The Caucasian communities described by Gralevsky at this time waged an unequal struggle with the Russian Empire in the name of preserving sovereignty. Thanks to this book, you can delve into the dramatic context of the events of that time and better understand their significance. In turn, fascinating descriptions of Dagestan, Chechnya, Ossetia and Georgia awaken to life the former inaccessible grandeur and charm of the region and its inhabitants.
