Have you ever read a novel and loved it so much, you wished it would never end? Well, Sienkiewicz's Trilogy, of which With Fire and Sword is the first volume, comes as close to that as is possible in a finite world--it's that good, and that long. This first volume is about 800 pages in length (the second is twice that), and is a magnificent tale of four friends, fighting for Poland during the Cossack uprising of 1648. The hero's fiancee is kidnapped by a fierce and charismatic Cossack leader, and his friends go through many battles and adventures to rescue her.
The second volume is The Deluge.
