But in a twist of fate, she falls ill and dies, leaving \u003cstrong\u003eMichael\u003c\/strong\u003e despairing of life-to the point of him joining a monastery. His friends, shocked at the loss of the great knight which has now left the Commonwealth unprotected, hatch a plan to bring him back to his true calling.As with many of the characters in the Trilogy, \u003cstrong\u003eMichael\u003c\/strong\u003e is fictional but based heavily on historical record: his character's exploits and circumstances owe a lot to the real Polish knight Jerzy Wolodyjowski, who was also in \u003cstrong\u003eJan Sobieski\u003c\/strong\u003e's cavalry.\u003cstrong\u003ePan Michael\u003c\/strong\u003e was, like the other books in the Trilogy, initially serialized in Sienkiewicz's newspaper Slowo, before being collected into a novel five years later in \u003cstrong\u003e1893\u003c\/strong\u003e. The book, and the Trilogy as a whole, was very well received, and allowed Sienkiewicz to resign his editorial post to focus on his novels.The novel was the first of the Trilogy to be filmed (as \u003cstrong\u003e1969\u003c\/strong\u003e's Colonel \u003cstrong\u003eWolodyjowski\u003c\/strong\u003e), and it was also later converted into a successful television series in Poland. This edition is based on the \u003cstrong\u003e1893\u003c\/strong\u003e translation by \u003cstrong\u003eJeremiah Curtin\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Prairies Numeriques","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47776391626903,"sku":"9791043135866","price":3463.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9791043135866.webp?v=1777995966","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pan-michael-9791043135866","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
