Zeromski, whose vivid, assured style is instantly recognizable, was
a writer with a strong social conscience, taking up the concerns of
the poor and downtrodden. "The Coming Spring" (Przedwio nie),
Zeromski's last novel, tells the story of Cezary Baryka, a young
Pole who finds himself in Baku, Azerbaijan, then a predominantly
Armenian city, as the Russian Revolution breaks out. He becomes
embroiled in the chaos caused by the revolution, and barely escapes
with his life. Then, he and his father set off on a horrendous
journey west to reach Poland. His father dies en route, but Cezary
makes it to the newly independent Poland. Cezary sees the suffering
of the poor, yet his experiences in the newly formed Soviet Union
make him suspicious of socialist and communist solutions. He is an
outsider among both the gentry and the working classes, and he
cannot find where he belongs. Furthermore, he has unsuccessful and
tragic love relations. The novel ends when, despite his profound
misgivings, he takes up political action on behalf of the poor.
