Can you please, when you have some free time of course, write a list of books that any Polish high-school graduate should have read? Like all the classics that you should know for your matura

I'm trying to prepare myself for when I move and also form a vast general knowledge.

okay so here are the main ones, just off the top of my head

Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz

Dziady cz. II & Dziady cz. III by Adam Mickiewicz

Lalka by Bolesław Prus

Wesele by Stanisław Wyspiański

Chłopi by Władysław Reymont (tom Jesień)

Ferdydurke by Witold Gombrowicz

W pustyni i w puszczy by Henryk Sienkiewicz

another book by Sienkiewicz: Quo vadis, Krzyżacy, or Potop

#and A TON of others but these are like the MAIN ones i think???#but please keep in mind Dziady and Wesele are EXTREMELY symbolic and you will have no idea what you are reading about #oh crime and punishment is a big one too but its technically not polish so i didnt add it #and if you want poetry i would have to make an entirety different post #but I HIGHLY recommend Wisława Szymborska #on another note i can give you a fun fact on Wesele if you write to me about it #yikes this post is a mess #kayla answers #alexandra!#oh and ferdydurke is very symbolic too but i actually liked that one
