Poland of the Piasts, Poland of the Jagiellonians and the Commonwealth of Both Nations is a famous series of historical essays written by Paweł Jasienica. Books written in a colorful, vivid language, with a specific approach to history. Jasienica does not write about dry facts, but puts forward bold theses, analyzes and explores the subject, and draws a faithful historical background. As the author himself says - the books he writes do not claim the status of scientific works, are not textbooks or popularize science. These are ordinary essays which enjoy the same rights as drama, poetry, and novel. The Poland of the Piasts is - according to the author's own words - a free literary story about the history of Poland in the period of the formation of its statehood. The Jagiellonian Poland, in turn, shows a comprehensive vision of political events, social and cultural life during the reign of the title Jagiellonian dynasties. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is a description of the turbulent history of pre-partition Poland. This series has enjoyed - and still is - enormous popularity of subsequent generations of readers, as evidenced by subsequent editions. The author is considered one of the best historical writers of our time.
