A Traveller's History of Poland

Více o knize

Poland's rich history is marked by its cultural contributions, including the works of renowned figures like Czeslaw Milosz, Chopin, Copernicus, and Marie Curie. Despite its significant role in European history, Poland faced subjugation by foreign powers in the 19th century and during the Cold War, which overshadowed its importance in the Western narrative. With a population of nearly 40 million and a land area similar to Spain, Poland remains a vital meeting point of diverse cultures and a key player in shaping European heritage.
