Poland

First as the powerful bulwark of Christendom against the East in the middle Ages and the Renaissance, and then as the victim of rapacious neighbours, Poland's fate has been central to European culture. Her turbulent history has left a wealth of monuments and historic landscapes that have been virtually hidden from the world.
This Pallas Guide explores Poland's remarkable heritage in full, with comprehensive coverage of art and architecture, and withintroduction to the more recent contributions in film, music and theatre. No one interested in Central Europe should be without this book.
