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.

評分奥尔加·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...
評分波兰是一个对我们来说既熟悉又陌生的国度。 有很多中国人知道波兰人在二战当中遭遇的苦难,以为波兰会和我们有相同的感受和世界观。可是,波兰人明显反感中国人,这和他们的历史有着莫大的关系。 波兰的历史渊源最早追溯至由斯拉夫人建立起来的数个大公国。波兰正式作为一个“...
評分 評分因为本书是普及类的通史著作,所以抛开种种历史细节不论,如果要寻找贯穿波兰史的核心细节,一定是“自由”,“自由”定义了波兰的历史和政治角色,是祝福也是诅咒。 1,皮亚斯特王朝是形成国家雏形的前自由时期。和很多中世纪王朝一样,很难说这时的波兰是一个“国家”。因为...
