In the \u003cem\u003eCrimean \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eErotic Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e of the national bard, we are presented with the fresh, real, and striking poetry of a living, breathing man of flesh and blood. Mickiewicz proved to be a master of Petrarchan form. His \u003cem\u003eErotic Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e chronicle the development of a love affair from its first stirrings to its disillusioning denouement, at times in a bitingly sardonic tone. The \u003cem\u003eCrimean Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e, a verse account of his journeys through the beautiful Crimean Peninsula, constitute the most perfect cycle of descriptive sonnets since du Bellay. \u003cem\u003eThe Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e of Adam Mickiewicz are given in the original Polish, in facing-page format, with English verse translations by Charles S. Kraszewski. Along with the entirety of the \u003cem\u003eCrimean \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eErotic Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e, other \"loose\" sonnets by Mickiewicz are included, which provide the reader with the most comprehensive collection to date of Mickiewicz's sonneteering. Fronted with a critical introduction, \u003cem\u003eThe Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e of Adam Mickiewicz also contain generous textual notes by the poet and the translator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated from the Polish and Introduced by Charles S.
