Who built the railway across the Andes? Who invented the beauty salons? Who discovered the vitamins? Who first soared into the sky? Who invented the bulletproof vest? Who broke the secret ciphers of the enemy?
The Poles! Living long ago and quite recently. Intuitive and courageous people. Sometimes a little crazy, always stubborn. And incredibly hard-working.
The Poles! Living long ago and quite recently. Intuitive and courageous people. Sometimes a little crazy, always stubborn. And incredibly hard-working.
This book is a combination of a classic lexicon with anecdotes, sensations and gossips. Immersive—sometimes thrilling, and sometimes funny—a tale about the Poles who did what nobody did before or even didn’t think of. A reading that proves that
“Poles can do it!”.
“Poles can do it!”.
The character of the illustrations refers to the woodblock printing technique. Especially to the woodcuts by Władysław Skoczylas and also the illustrations by Ernesto García Cabral. I made the first trials of this technique in my ☞diploma work.
