"On the Field of Glory: An Historical Novel of the Time of King John Sobieski" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a historical novel published in 1906. Set during the reign of King John III Sobieski before the Battle of Vienna, it follows an impoverished young Polish nobleman who loves an aristocratic woman above his station.

Their paths diverge through duels, betrayals, and battles in a turbulent Poland preparing for war with the Ottoman Empire.
