The Spring to Come

The Spring to Come

"The Spring To Come" ( _pl. Przedwiośnie) is a novel by Polish writer Stefan Żeromski, printed in 1925.

The novel is set in 1914 - 1924, before and during the reconstitution of Poland as the Second Polish Republic, prior to the Polish-Soviet war. The main character, Cezary Baryka, leaves Baku following the Russian Revolution and the death of his girlfriend, and enters Poland, the country of his parents, having never been there before. The novel tells of his disillusionment as the Poland he discovers does not resemble that of which his father told him, and his involvement with the Bolsheviks.

A live action version was released in two formats in Poland on 2 March 2001, adapted and directed by Filip Bajon, and featuring Mateusz Damięcki as Cezary Baryka. A five hour miniseries version was broadcast on Polish television, and a 138-minute cut distributed to theatres.
