Originally published in 1902, the story of the Countess has all the air
of a dramatic romance carefully planned by an ingenious novelist; yet it
is a faithful narrative of events, illumined by the light of Kraszewsk's
genius. It will appeal greatly to any historian. Many of the earliest
books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the
original text and artwork.
