An American in Krakow: Living in Poland

An American in Krakow sums up what an American living in Poland has concluded are the key things anyone interested in Poland should know. Through his own personal experiences rediscovering his distant Polish heritage, his marriage to a Polish woman, and his passion for Polish history and society, the author summarizes a body of general knowledge about the country and people, touching on Polish history, geography, cultural peculiarities, social attitudes, politics, religion, international relations, and some of the sights the traveler to Poland should be sure to see. The book starts out with general impressions from the author’s early visits, and then gets more into detail about day-to-day life and the internal affairs of this complicated, fascinating, and at times frustrating Central European nation. Illustrated with pictures from the author’s travels around the country.
