Six stories about the people and places of Poland, from prehistoric times up to the modern day. You will find magical realism, humor, the horrors of war, and the human spirit. You will see the threads of the historical events that have shaped the area from the point of view of the people who lived through them. These stories are not about the kings and generals that have fought over this land. Instead they are about the common people who have persisted through millenia of the ebb and flow of the empires and barbarians that have swept across this eternally contested place. Yet they are not about that history. Instead they are about the strength and resilience of people that is alive in all places and all times.
