Discover the fascinating history of the Polish peasantry, from the Piast dynasty to the times of the Polish People's Republic. This book is a surprising response to A People's History of Poland, presenting the true story of the people who formed the foundation of our nation.
The authors, Andrzej Chwalba and Wojciech Harpula, known for creating excellent history books, this time focus on the fate of those who for centuries constituted the majority of the inhabitants of Poland. Their work is an attempt to objectively present the history of peasants, without taking sides in the conflict. They avoid journalistic simplifications and instead offer the reader a solid story based on skillfully used historical sources.
This book is not only a lexicon on the folk history of Poland, but above all a multifaceted and engaging story about the historical role and daily existence of people who constituted three-quarters of the inhabitants of Polish lands. What changes did the fate of the Polish peasantry undergo over the centuries? What did the daily struggles of "Cham" with "Lord" look like? What did the peasants eat and drink? Who beat them, who did they beat? What did they believe in, who did they respect, who did they despise? What did they hope for?
The history of Poland has so far been written by those who ruled the state and later, after its loss, tried to regain it. However, this was not the history of the peasants. In the Polish People's Republic, but also in recent years, works on rural residents were usually contaminated with ideology. Andrzej Chwalba and Wojciech Harpula present their history objectively. They do not take sides, avoid journalistic simplifications, and instead offer a solid story based on skillfully used sources and issues that provoke reflection and own searches. The book has 432 pages and a format of 146x208 mm.
The Literary Publishing House invites you to read this extraordinary book, which sheds new light on the history of Poland and its inhabitants. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the roots of our nation and the role that working people played in it.
