This book is a valuable analysis of the work of Adam Mickiewicz, showing him as a seeker of meaning and harmony in life. The author, Ewa Hoffmann-Piotrowska, analyzes the poet's texts, extracting anthropological and existential themes from them. The Light Romantic project, contained in the title, aims to complement the "dark Romanticism" that dominates Polish Romanticism research, which focuses on the madness and melancholy of the heroes of the era.

The reflections contained in the book indicate the longings of the Romantics for an orderly existence, which could be given meaning. Contrary to the prevailing views of the era, the Romantics also sought this meaning in tradition, in conciliatory and community attitudes. This publication is therefore an attempt to take a new look at Romanticism, showing its bright side and its striving for harmony.
