The best book I’ve read in Polish! 🇵🇱

I’ve just finished reading Znachor (Znachor #1) by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz (in Polish).

I really loved this book! Actually, it’s one of the best classic books I’ve ever read! Well-written, deep and very emotional story that gripped me from the very first page and didn’t let go until the end. Amazing, absolutely amazing! Highly recommended! ❤️
