Search for: [Abstract = "Almost at the beginning of Sienkiewicz's career he was thought to be a controversial writer. First controversy appeared in connection with a story entitled \"Charcoal Sketches\" \[\"Szkice węglem\"\] and their fundamental assumptions. Author himself was sure the reaction would be strong but he did not excpect it from positivist critics. Nevertheless, the attack published in \"Weekly Review\" \[\"Przegląd Tygodniowy\"\] met not only Bolesław Prus' but also Aleksander Świętochowski's objections. Such an attitude of the latter towards \"Sketches\" encouraged Sienkiewicz to another project \- writing a series of a similar pamphlet tone, but he resigned from this idea. Next dispute \- much broader \- aroused because of issuing the first historical novel \"With Fire and Sword\" \[\"Ogniem i mieczem\"\] by Sienkiewicz."]
