Andrzej Kmicic is best known as a fictional character created by Henryk Sienkiewicz featured in the novel The Deluge. He is a typical szlachcic (Polish-Lithuanian noble) from the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth; unruly yet patriotic. During the course of the books, he transforms from a villain to a hero.
The 1991–92 Copernicus Society translation by W.S. Kuniczak calls the character Andrei Kmita, rather than Andrzej Kmicic.[1]
The moral transformation of Kmicic is similar to the transformation of Prince Roman from Joseph Conrad's book.[2]
Samuel Kmicic may have served as the prototype of Andrzej Kmicic.[3]
