The Last Wish
Sapkowski's first Witcher book introduces Geralt through short stories. Through monster hunts revealing human monstrosity, it deconstructs fairy tales and explores choice versus destiny. Geralt's neutrality and the series' moral complexity established dark fantasy's modern template. The work blends Slavic folklore with cynical realism.
