“With a view of Poland”. Unobvious stories that move
This is a book for those who want to understand not only “others”, but also themselves. The reports were written in mid-2025. They are stories about unusual places, complicated relationships, extraordinary people and events that are sometimes hard to believe, even though they are true. They are moving and make you reflect. They present the everyday life of people living right next to us, for whom Poland is often a point of reference, and often also hope.
“With a View of Poland” is a book deeply rooted in the present. Created at a time of geopolitical tensions, migration, and redefinition of national and European identities, it raises questions about how we look at each other and how much our ideas differ from reality.
The authors do not propose simple diagnoses or convenient generalizations. Instead, they give a voice to people living right next to us, often at the crossroads of cultures and systems, often on the margins of great narratives. In conversations with residents of Lithuania, Belarus, Germany, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Slovakia and the Königsberg Oblast, stories about memory and denial, aspirations and disappointments, everyday choices and political consequences that really affect the lives of individuals are heard.
The “With a View of Poland” reports constitute a multi-voiced story. These are stories about people whose everyday lives rarely make headlines, yet they best reflect the pulse of contemporary Central and Eastern Europe.
The book was published by Ringier Axel Springer Polska.
