About the book

"Without Dogma: A Novel of Modern Poland" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a novel published in 1891. Leon Płoszowski, a wealthy aristocrat, keeps a diary chronicling his search for meaning in a world he sees as morally adrift. When he falls for the innocent Anielka, his inability to commit drives him into the arms of another woman, setting off a chain of events with devastating consequences. This controversial work became unexpectedly popular among the very decadent youth Sienkiewicz intended to condemn.
