The History of Poland from the Beginning to August II

Translated into Russian in 1910, "The History of the Polish People" by W. Grabencki (the pseudonym of the prominent Polish historian Wladyslaw Smolenski) is a book that is still in demand in the author's homeland and valuable for all Russian-speaking readers not only for its encyclopedic nature but also for representing a "Polish" perspective on the past. This perspective often differs radically from the one we are accustomed to and allows us to sometimes understand processes that are occurring in our days.
