An Eight-Century Historical Epic of Polish Resilience, Invasions, and National Identity

Beginning in 1981 with a tense confrontation between Polish farmers and Soviet-backed Communist officials in the village of Bukowo, James A. Michener traces eight centuries of Polish history through three interconnected family bloodlines—the noble Bukowski family, the aristocratic Count Lubonski, and the peasant Buk family.

The novel chronicles Poland's struggle against foreign invasions, including the 1241 Mongol siege of Zamość, Swedish wars, partitions by Prussia and Russia, Nazi occupation at Majdanek, and the rise of the Solidarity movement.

Why You’ll Love This Book

James A. Michener blends meticulous historical research with emotional family drama and European geopolitics. A compelling historical novel for readers of European history and multi-generational sagas.
