This landmark volume chronicles the full arc of Polish civilisation — its dynastic kingdoms, its role as a crossroads of faiths and empires, its artistic and intellectual flourishing, and the unyielding spirit of its people — presented through a rich tapestry of historical narrative and stunning visual artefacts.\n\nPublished by Interpress Publishers, this authoritative work argues that Poland's identity was forged not merely through political borders but through a profound and enduring cultural consciousness. The book presents a lavishly illustrated survey that draws upon architecture, decorative arts, literature, and material culture to illustrate how a nation defined itself across a millennium. The iconic embroidered Polish eagle on the cover — a symbol of sovereignty reaching back to the Piast dynasty — serves as a fitting emblem for a volume that leaves the reader wondering: how does a nation survive a thousand years of history, and what does it carry forward?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203109003483,"sku":"2026100009520-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/11de05a5-1530-4bc7-a9b4-95bc70a86cbc.png?v=1788143919","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009520-secondhand-a-thousand-years-of-poland","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
