Andrzej Sapkowski is one of those rare authors whose works have not only acquired cult status in our country, but have become part of Russian science fiction. Moreover, Sapkowski is a writer with the talent to create completely original fantasy, completely free from outside influence, however associated with the classical mythological tradition. Sapkowski's books are not only brilliant in their literary form and depth of content. They present a picture of the world - the world of “sword and magic”, a world of sparkling humor that not only captures the reader’s attention, but also touches his soul.
