Dziady with delivery to Ireland

Dziady is a cycle of four Romantic dramas by Adam Mickiewicz, belonging to the strict canon of Polish literature.
The earliest work in the cycle chronologically is Dziady part II, dating from 1823, together with the poem Upiór linked to it, whose main character is a heartbroken ghost appearing on All Souls' Day. The next part of the cycle is a drama on the theme of love, also from 1823, known as Dziady part IV, whose main characters are Gustaw, an unhappy Romantic lover, and a priest, the embodiment of rationalism, who listens to Gustaw's confessions.
The next work in the cycle, Dziady part III, written in 1832, is regarded as a masterpiece of Polish Romantic drama. The drama is supplemented by Ustęp, an epic commentary ending with the famous poem Do przyjaciół Moskali. In this part of Dziady, Mickiewicz explores the history of the Polish nation and asks a metaphysical question about the meaning of that history. Beneath the official, "open" dimension of national history, the poet discovers its hidden, martyrological dimension. Mickiewicz formulates a messianic vision of national history, based on an analogy between the sufferings of Christ and the sacrifice of persecuted Poles, a nation deprived of its own statehood and earthly power.
The final part of Dziady is the unfinished drama Dziady part I, consisting of several unconnected fragments, which was published posthumously in 1860. The work returns to the description of the All Souls' Day rite, and to the figure of the Guślarz from Dziady part II.

Dziady has seen many stage, television and film adaptations. It has inspired numerous works of art, including the Second Symphony of the Austrian composer Gustav Mahler.
