The History of Poland Since 1863
This is an account of the evolution of Poland from conditions of subjection to its reconstruction in 1918, development in the years between the two World Wars, and reorganisation after 1945. It begins at a time when Poland was still suffering from the legacy of the eighteenth-century Partitions and burdened with problems of sizeable ethnic minorities, inadequate agrarian reforms and sluggish industrial development sustained by foreign capital. It traces the history through to independence and then to the transformation of the country in the last thirty years. Although many of the problems of the past have now disappeared, industrialisation, the structure of peasant agriculture, and political association with the Soviet Union present the Polish People's Republic with difficulties that have yet to be resolved. Substantial achievements in an ethnically homogeneous state must be set against substantial discontents. This history provides the English-speaking reader with a scholarly synthesis based mainly on literature in Polish and other East European languages. It will be essential reading for historians of Eastern Europe and for those interested in modern Polish society.
Between Prometheism and Realpolitik
The Treaty of Riga of March 1921 did not signify real peace. It was soon followed by the outbreak of a Polish-Soviet cold war, which in the early 1920s threatened to reach a boiling point. One of the salient fronts on which it was fought was Ukraine and the Ukrainian question. The means by which it was waged – first by Poland, and subsequently, more successfully, by the Soviets – was by attempts to stir up centrifugal tendencies on enemy territory, leading eventually to the splitting up of the neighboring state along its national seams. Polish-Soviet rivalry over Ukraine had flared up at the Riga peace conference. In the following years both antagonists struggled to win over the sympathies of Ukrainians living on either side of the frontier River Zbrucz (Zbruch) and dispersed in various émigré centers, and the weapons employed were propaganda, diplomacy, nationalities policy, economic projects, political subterfuge, and armed irredentism. Jan Jacek Bruski's book addresses the first, very important phase of this Polish-Soviet tussle.

Słona wanilia tom III
Trzeci i zarazem ostatni tom słodko-słonej historii o licealistach, którzy z jednej strony mierzą się z nastoletnimi problemami, a z drugiej – muszą przedwcześnie dorosnąć, ponieważ najbliżsi, którzy powinni być dla nich opoką, zawodzą. Anna zawsze uważała, że jej rodzice są chłodni wobec niej oraz całej rodziny. Od kiedy pamięta, zbywają jej pytania o to, dlaczego nie ma rodzeństwa i czemu rzadko widują się z krewnymi. Przez to długo pozostaje wycofana oraz niepewna. Jednak teraz wszystko zaczyna się zmieniać. Dziewczyna wchodzi w pełnoletność, ma chłopaka, a jej przyjaciółka jest w udanym związku. Wszyscy wokół wiedzą, co chcą robić w przyszłości, i dążą do realizacji swoich planów. Anna zaś mimo wybitnych wyników w nauce oraz wysokiej inteligencji nie umie określić własnego celu w życiu. Jednak życie potrafi zaskakiwać i nieraz coś co wydaje nam się oczywiste, wcale takie nie jest. Ostatni tom "Słonej wanilii" opisuje losy dziewczyny, która poznaje samą siebie, rodzinne sekrety oraz uczy się, jak żeglować samodzielnie po oceanie dorosłości.
