E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Tulella ja miekalla: Kuvaus menneiltä ajoilta. 2" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds during a tumultuous period, likely set against the backdrop of wars and social upheaval in Eastern Europe. The story revolves around various characters, including the noble lieutenant Skrzetuski and the fiery Bohun, exploring themes of loyalty, love, and the moral complexities of conflict. The opening of the novel introduces us to a series of events that transpire after a letter is sent from the lieutenant Skrzetuski, urging a noblewoman to flee for her safety as war looms. Two characters, Rzendzian and a Cossack named Bohun, find themselves in a precarious situation as they navigate dangers posed by hostile forces. Tension builds quickly, with Bohun's unbridled passion leading to a violent confrontation when he reacts to a love letter intended for Helena, the noblewoman. This sets the stage for a gripping drama of betrayal, honor, and the fierce passions of its characters, promising readers a thrilling exploration of the historical era.
