Jacek Komuda. Polish professional historical writer. Author of more than twenty books and collections of short stories set in the 17th-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the country of winged horsemen. That is, in the wild fields of Eastern Europe, where blood was cheaper than wine and a man was worth less than a horse. Whoever was not killed by a Tartar or a Cossack - his neighbor killed him. 
Jacek Komuda has sold about half a million books (paperback editions) in Poland alone. The author is passionate about the culture of the inhabitants of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. On a daily basis, he lives and works in a wooden nobleman's manor house in the Eastern Carpathians, which he built faithful to the tradition that every Polish writer, like Henryk Sienkiewicz or Joseph Conrad, should write in his own manor house. The writer lives here together with his beloved horses, as he is also a reconstructionist of the old Polish cavalry - hussars and armored flags. Jacek Komuda's work was not yet known to English-speaking fans of literature - historical fiction. This is the first opportunity to get acquainted with it.
