About this book
Five pieces by Henryk Sienkiewicz fill this volume, translated from the Polish by Jeremiah Curtin, whose preface is dated December 1903. The title story is a Hindu legend about two plains on either side of a river, the Plain of Life and the Plain of Death, both made by Brahma. The others are The Cranes, A Legend of the Sea, The Judgment of Peter and Paul on Olympus and a short sketch in which, Curtin explains, the mother stands for Poland and her son Yasko for Silesia.
Curtin also says that Sienkiewicz began Charcoal Sketches at Anaheim Landing in California and worked out its whole plan there, as The Cranes describes.
