In the eyes of ordinary people, the country of Poland always seems to be shrouded in tragedy. Whether it is Chopin's "Poland Never Dies" or Roman Polanski's film "The Pianist", they both left a sad and tragic impression on people's hearts. As far as Polish history is concerned, the experience of three brutal partitions and the brutal tyranny of the Nazi German invaders also cast the country as a "loser". But in fact, Poland is a country with a great past and a promising present. This book begins with the founding of the Kingdom of Poland by Mieszko I, and tells the magnificent history of Poland for more than a thousand years. Adam Zamojski, a Polish-British historical writer, unfolds this historical picture in a vivid and passionate way, analyzes and explains many historical facts in Polish history, and discusses them in a broader international context. Afterwards, the author moves into contemporary times and shows readers what challenges the Polish people faced in exploring their own development path after going through many hardships to regain independence and unity.
