"Brühl" is not only a biography of an ambitious courtier, but also a panorama of an era in which the Republic of Poland was heading for collapse. Kraszewski shows with extraordinary insight the backstage of the functioning of the court of August II and August III, where personal ambitions, privileges and arrangements decided. This is a novel about the mechanisms of power that remain unchanged to this day.

Kraszewski, a master of the historical novel, draws a broad panorama of events, without losing the drama and psychological depth of the characters. The reader follows not only the political games, but also the internal transformations of Brühl, which lead him from a naive young man to a cynical political player. His path from anonymity to power is a symbol of court mechanisms - dependence, flattery, but also perseverance and patient building of influence.

Józef Ignacy Kraszewski (1812-1887) is a writer, publicist, historian, author of over 220 novels, including monumental historical cycles. He is the creator of the so-called "Saxon Trilogy" ("Countess Cosel", "Brühl", "From Seven Times"), in which he portrayed the life of the Saxon court and the dramas of the era of August the Strong and his successors. Called the "Polish Balzac," he was not only a chronicler of history, but also a psychologist who was able to penetrate the depths of human passions. His works - from "Old Tale" to "Countess Cosel" - remain to this day a testament to an extraordinary literary and historical passion.
