Słowacki- Anhelli, Paris 1838, first edition.

The first editions and first editions of the works of the trinity of romantic poets [Zygmunt Krasiński, Adam Mickiewicz and Juljusz Słowacki] enjoy a growing interest. These are valuable books not only because of their important role in the national literature, but also their tangible value, which, apart from valuable Polish old prints, may constitute a good capital investment.

Today, a short specification of one of such works:

SLOWACKI Juljusz

ANHELLI 

Paris 1838, Book. and Printing. Poland. Printing. Bourgogne et Martinet. p. 108, finalik; size 11.5x17.5 cm

Ed. 1.

A poem dedicated to Stefan Hołyński, who met in the East: Stefan H., in memory of the meeting in the Holy Land and under the mountains of Lebanon. The image of the destiny of the nation in exile in the scenery of Siberia. Critical assessment of emigration. Information about Siberia taken from, among others from the diaries of J. Kopć; authentic persons and events were the basis on which Słowacki based the content of the poem.

Anhelli is a pessimistic forecast of the future of Polish emigration and its struggle for Polish independence. The work is considered a poetic replica of the Books of the Polish Nation and Polish Pilgrimage by Adam Mickiewicz, to which it refers in stylization to biblical prose.
