Sienkiewicz to this day is celebrated as a writer, historian and pedagogue. In 1900, a special state committee offered him a small estate in Oblęgorek near Kielce. In the 1880s, Sienkiewicz started to publish his historical novels, which soon became very popular. He traveled to the USA and Western Europe, and visited Istanbul and Athens, publishing witty reports and essays in the Polish press.
He never completed his studies at the Russian Warsaw University that replaced the Szkoła Główna, but very soon became one of the most popular journalists in the Russian part of Poland. Born into a gentry family in the poor region of Podlasie, Sienkiewicz moved with his family to Warsaw, where he had the opportunity to study at Szkoła Główna, a Polish higher education institution which was closed down after the defeat of the January uprising in 1864.
