Description
 
Norman Davies's classic history of Poland has been revised and fully updated with two new chapters to bring the story to the end of the twentieth century.
The second volume of God's Playground demonstrates Poland's importance in European history from the end of the eighteenth century to the present. Davies emphasizes the cultural history of Poland through a presentation of extensive poetical, literary, and documentary texts in English translation. He intersperses chronological chapters of political narrative with chapters on religious, social, economic, constitutional, philosophical, and diplomatic themes.

"Superbly readable, rich in detail....Norman Davies understands and exquisitely conveys the importance of historical consciousness in polish life....this is beyond doubt not only the best book on Poland in the English language; it is the book on Poland. It is a masterly work." --New York Times Book Review
