A Disastrous Matter
This book sets out to present the Polish-Russian conflict the way the elite of Russian society saw it. One of its chief research topics is the interaction between Russian public opinion, the policy the Empire pursued on its uncompliant subjects, and the impact the Polish conflict had on the evolution of Russian political ideas and movements. A major issue it addresses is the reaction of Russian society, its diverse political factions and social and philosophical trends and their relationship to the Polish national movement, and the effect of the Polish question on their evolution. Research in numerous archives and manuscript collections in Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, played a fundamental role in the work for this book. This book was originally published in Polish as Fatalna sprawa: Kwestia polska w rosyjskiej mysli politycznej (Kraków: Arcana, 2000). It was awarded the Klio Prize, a prestigious Polish award for the best monograph on a historical subject. This English translation is an abridged version (about 1/3 of the book's original size).

Scots in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 16th to 18th Centuries
In the period between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries a considerable number of Scots migrated to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Some sojourned there for some time, while others stayed permanently and exercised commercial business and crafts. The migration stopped in the eighteenth century, and the Scots who remained in Poland seem to have lost their ethnic identity. This book offers an examination and assessment of this migration: numbers of migrants; patterns of settlement; laws regulating Scottish presence in Poland-Lithuania; their commercial, academic, religious and military activities; their social advancement into the Polish nobility; their assimilation and then the eventual disappearance as a distinct ethnic group in Poland-Lithuania.
Pamiętniki
Świat Stefana Kieniewicza odszedł w przeszłość i powoli zacierają się jego kontury. Opowieść autora o dojrzewaniu do życia rodzinnego i publicznego nie tylko ocala wiele szczegółów rzeczywistości pierwszej połowy XX wieku, lecz także pozwala zbudować z nią więź emocjonalną. Dobrze urodzony w carskiej Rosji. Stracił dom, zanim w Polsce poszedł do szkoły. Nie strzelał, nie galopował, ale odebrał complete education. Czytał światową literaturę w pięciu językach i nie uważał się za poliglotę. Z równym zapałem karnawałował i bywał w archiwach. Gdy założył własną rodzinę, przyszła wojna. Dziesięć lat po niej uznał, że już nic oprócz M4 mu nie t...
