À propos de cet audio

 In this sweeping novel, James A. Michener chronicles eight tumultuous centuries as three Polish families live out their destinies. The Counts Lubonski, the petty nobles Bukowksi, and the peasants Buk are at some times fiercely united, at others tragically divided. With an inspiring tradition of resistance to brutal invaders, from the barbarians to the Nazis, and a heritage of pride that burns through eras of romantic passion and courageous solidarity, their common story reaches a breathtaking culmination in the historic showdown between the ruthless Communists and rebellious farmers of the modern age. Like the heroic land that is its subject, Poland teems with vivid events, unforgettable characters, and the unfolding drama of an entire nation.

It looks like nothing is changed since than...this readings should be compulsory with the hope that we learn something from it.

Thank you for writing this book!

Although I grew up in a Polish Immigrant village on the prairies of Alberta, I knew nothing about their history. This was so eye-opening! I’ve read plenty on the Holocaust and the Russian Gulags…the Poles didn’t have it any easier- ever! Truly the most tenacious race to grace this planet.
It’s not a pretty tale- but it’s one that all the human race needs to know- especially as the threat of Socialism looms over North America. Add this book to your “must read” list!

Sobering. Shocking. Estimable.

The scope of the novel is astounding, but the narrator's mangling of the Polish language is more than a little off-putting. Names and places are mispronounced horrendously throughout, but it's most off-putting in a section where a Polish character tries to teach his American wife how to speak Polish. In the non-Polish parts, the narrator is fine, if a bit robotic, but you'd think they'd make an effort to find someone who could handle the language spoken in the titular country.

Great book, but Polish gets mangled
