'''Henryk Sienkiewicz'''(1846-1916) was a [[nationalist]], [[Nobel Prize]] winning [[Polish]] author.  Sienkiewicz was born in [[Wola Okrzejska]], in the area of Poland that was at the time under [[Russian]] control.  He studied in [[Warsaw]], and in 1876 he traveled to the [[United States]].  His travels were said to have influenced his writings.  He and his family were staunch [[patriots]] and nationalists. This element can be clearly seen in his works.  Sienkiewicz was and still is very popular in his homeland, however his popularity never really extended outside of Poland.  This is partly because very few decent translations of his works are available in [[English]].  He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1905.
