Henryk Sienkiewicz

Historia miłości Stanisława Połanieckiego i pięknej Maryni Pławickiej, osadzona w scenerii ziemiańskich dworków i Warszawy z końca XIX wieku. Rodzina Połanieckich to jedna z nielicznych w dorobku Sienkiewicza powieści o tematyce współczesnej. Miłość przedstawiona jest przez autora w sposób daleki od utrwalonego w dziewiętnastowiecznej literaturze polskiej. Przede wszystkim główny bohater, Stanisław Połaniecki, jest uwikłany w relacje uczuciowe z kilkoma kobietami, co nie nosi jednak znamion tragicznego rozdarcia. Miłość nie jest czymś stałym, na zawsze określonym. Pisarz przedstawia w swej powieści całe spektrum uczuć miłosnych od cielęcego zauroczenia Litki po cynizm kokietek czy czysto fizyczny pociąg bohatera do zamężnej kobiety.
