"Whirlpools" is set against the backdrop of Poland in the late 19th century, a time marked by social unrest, political turmoil, and cultural upheaval. The novel portrays the struggles of various characters who find themselves caught in the swirling currents of change and conflict.The narrative follows the lives of several individuals from different social classes and backgrounds, each grappling with personal ambitions, moral dilemmas, and the harsh realities of life under foreign occupation (particularly by Russia). The title "Whirlpools" metaphorically suggests the chaotic and turbulent forces shaping Polish society during this period.
