Dust and Ashes, also known as Demolished, is a novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz and published in 1899. The story is set in Warsaw, Poland during the late 1800s and follows the lives of two brothers, Stanislaw and Wladyslaw, who come from a wealthy family. Stanislaw is a successful lawyer who is well-respected in society, while Wladyslaw is a talented artist who struggles to find success. Despite their differences, the brothers are close and care deeply for each other. However, their lives take a dramatic turn when their father dies and they discover that their family’s fortune has been lost. With no money or inheritance, the brothers are forced to sell their belongings and move into a small apartment in a poor neighborhood. As they struggle to adapt to their new circumstances, they encounter a cast of characters from all walks of life, including a group of revolutionaries, a wealthy businessman, and a beautiful actress. Through their interactions with these characters, the brothers begin to question their own values and beliefs, and ultimately come to a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them. Dust and Ashes is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of wealth, class, and identity, and offers a glimpse into the social and political realities of Poland during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
