Juliusz Słowacki's "Three Poems" is a collection of three poems: "In Switzerland," "Father of the Plague," and "Wacław," published in Paris in 1839. This collection is considered one of the most important examples of Polish Romanticism, combining national themes with reflections on human existence. It is also a significant element of the author's oeuvre, demonstrating his versatility and the development of his poetic style.
