Pan Tadeusz/English and Polish Text

I debated if I should give it 2.5 or 3 stars but I decided on 3 stars. I understand why this is a classic, the structure of it is really interesting and inspiring and the writing is absolutely beautiful.

But, I just didn’t like the long tiring chapters about war. I really loved the poetry about romance, nature, astronomy, etc…

It took me a whole month to finish it just because I was so tired and bored by the long war parts, but I felt like 2.5 stars won’t recognize the author’s talent enough.
