| Summary | "Hania" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the titular character, Hania, the granddaughter of an old servant named Mikolai Suhovolski, and her relationship with Henri, the young heir now tasked with her guardianship after Mikolai's death. The story weaves themes of love, duty, and the transitions of life, set against a backdrop of Polish nobility and the complexities of familial responsibilities. The opening of "Hania" introduces the reader to Mikolai, an old servant who holds a significant place in the narrator's childhood memories. His character is depicted as both authoritarian yet affectionate, demonstrating a deep sense of duty and loyalty that profoundly influences the young narrator. Following Mikolai's passing, the narrator and Hania are left to navigate their new roles as guardian and ward, filled with sorrow yet bound by a shared history. The initial scenes capture the melancholy of loss while hinting at the care and affection that will evolve between Hania and her protector, setting the stage for a deep emotional journey intertwined with the notions of love and responsibility.
