"The absence of the Brave in our fiction is explained to some extent by the deficiencies of our own historiography. It is difficult to capture on its pages the living man, the real Brave, or at least some of his features directly from life. (...)Of course, I do not claim to have fulfilled this task either. However, I believe that I have come close to the life and historical truth in many cases. (...)"

Stanislaw Zakrzewski
