具体描述

A substantially revised and updated edition of the author's classic 1987 book, 'The Polish Way: A Thousand-Year History of the Poles and their Culture', which has been out of print since 2001. When Adam Zamoyski first wrote his history of Poland, in the 1980s, the country was in a state of subjugation, its living culture largely surviving only underground or in exile. Although the election of Karol Wojty?a as Pope John Paul II and the dramatic rise of Solidarno?? had brought Poland into the world's consciousness, it was not until the collapse of the Soviet empire in 1989 that it returned to life as a political entity. No nation's history has been so distorted as that of Poland. In 1797 Russia, Prussia and Austria divided the country up among themselves, rewriting history to give the impression that Poland had never been a fully sovereign state, only a backwater that needed civilising. In fact the country they had wiped off the map had been one of the largest and most richly varied in Europe, embracing a wide variety of cultural and religious traditions, accommodated within one of the boldest constitutional experiments ever attempted. Its destruction initiated a series of struggles that culminated in the two world wars and the Cold War. Today, after the turmoil of the past two centuries, Poland has been restored to its rightful place as one of the most homogeneous and vigorous nations of Europe. Adam Zamoyski's full revision of his classic history is perfectly timed.

读后感

可惜，我没有波兰朋友。不然，我一定问他：“假如让你选择，你愿意生活在波兰历史的哪一段？”既然无处可问，我只好问自己：“假装是一个波兰人，你愿意生活在哪个年代？” 假如没有读过英国人亚当·扎莫伊斯基所著、中国友谊出版公司出版的《波兰史》，我的答案一定是，任何时...  

奥尔加·托卡尔丘克荣获2018年诺贝尔文学奖，这让波兰再次成为世界关注的焦点之一。当然，托卡尔丘克并未开创历史，在她之前，亨利克·显克维支、弗拉迪斯拉夫·莱蒙特、维斯瓦娃·辛波斯卡三位波兰作家，以及波兰裔美国作家切斯瓦夫·米沃什，都先后被授予这一荣誉。不过，在...  

究竟是在什么时候听说波兰这个国家呢？大抵是音乐课听到肖邦这个音乐家还有那些波尔卡的时候吧，那时候混合成的混沌印象无非不过是成了课堂下学生的笑料而已，没有人会当真。之后很长的一段时间里，对我个人而言，波兰也只是一个若即若离的包含在世界各国之中的名词。即使知道...

波兰在欧洲地区是一个比较奇特的国家，在欧洲工业化之前的农业时代，波兰是一个地区强国，入侵莫斯科，打败奥斯曼大军， 波兰是由贵族庄园联盟组成的一个波兰和立陶宛联盟国家，国王由贵族议会选举产生，而不是世袭制，是一个多民族多宗教融合的地区，国家概念非常薄弱， 随着...
