Like the heroic land that is its subject, James Michener s POLAND teems with vivid events and unforgettable characters in the sweeping span of eight tumultuous centuries.In a tradition of resistance to barbarian Tartar invaders and brutal Nazi occupiers, with a heritage of pride that burns through eras of romantic passion and courageous solidarity, three powerfull families live out their destinies - and the drama of a nation.Here are the Counts Lubonski of the nobility, the Bukowskis of the gentry, and the peasant Buks - at times fiercely united, at other times tragically divided - whose common story finds its breathtaking culmination in the historic showdown between implacable Communist and rebellious farmers in our present day.
