Maybe the author, being Czech, wanted to look beyond the quintessential Slavic contribution to the genre. It’s the only explanation I can think of. The idea that monsters can be understood, and spared because in the end they’re exhibiting human flaws, is such a powerful storytelling device. |

Sapkowski is from Poland, though. Still Slav, but still.
