Poland is a sweeping historical epic by bestselling author James A. Michener that traces more than seven centuries of Polish history through the lives of three interconnected noble families. Beginning in the thirteenth century and continuing into the modern era, the novel brings to life the nation's triumphs, invasions, uprisings, partitions, wars, and enduring struggle for independence. Blending meticulous historical research with richly developed characters, Michener explores themes of patriotism, identity, family, courage, resilience, politics, faith, and the preservation of cultural heritage. Epic in scope and vividly detailed, Poland is both a compelling family saga and an illuminating portrait of one of Europe's most resilient nations.
