In this sweeping novel, James A. Michener chronicles eight tumultuous centuries as three Polish families live out their destinies. The Counts Lubonski, the petty nobles Bukowksi, and the peasants Buk are at times fiercely united, at others tragically divided. With an inspiring tradition of resistance to brutal invaders, from the barbarians to the Nazis, and a heritage of pride that burns through eras of romantic passion and courageous solidarity, their common story reaches a breathtaking culmination in the historic showdown between the ruthless Communists and rebellious farmers of the modern age. Like the heroic land that is its subject, Poland teems with vivid events, unforgettable characters, and the unfolding drama of an entire nation.

Reseñas editoriales

"Stunning.... An unmatched overview of Polish history.... The families themselves come very much alive, and through them, Poland itself." ( USA Today)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Engrossing.... A page-turner in the grand Michener tradition." ( The Washington Post)
"A Michener epic is far more than a bedtime reader, it's an experience. Poland is a monumental effort, a magnificent guide to a better understanding of the country's tribulations." ( Chicago Tribune)

I am of Polish ancestry but was aware of just small bits of Poland's history. This book taught me so much and has prompted me to learn more.


What an Engrossing Epic!

I say gripping because the story is unforgettable. I say tedious because so much of Poland’s history repeats itself in hope and hopelessness. They are a resilient, stubborn, courageous and colorful people.

Much like with travel, you cannot get into the minds and hearts of people without having your own mind and heart affected—even changed.

The narrator is perfect. It’s a joy to listen to his rich voice and perceptive storytelling.

Michener, as usual, leaves no stone unturned in unearthing history through the lives of his characters.

Gripping and tedious

Good reading with abysmal pronunciation of Polish words - it's like he didn't even try!

Terrible pronunciation

As with Hawaii and Alaska, the story follows a group of Polish families through several centuries and historic events. I was drawn in and really enjoyed the telling of their stories

A great story

Another compelling story line placed throughout historical events. I learned a lot that I did not know.

Reading Michener never disappoints me

Would you listen to Poland again? Why?

Possibly not, but only because it's really long and I have a lot of books in my queue. I might if I take another trip to Poland, just to brush up.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene in which two concentration camp survivors are discussing their feelings of guilt over things they did to survive, as well as their discussion of Holocaust deniers, was very powerful.

Any additional comments?

This book is long but very engaging. Though there were portions that were a little slow, I routinely found myself laughing out loud while listening. Michener is a masterful storyteller on a very broad scale, and McKeever has a very pleasing voice (and does great with all the difficult Polish pronunciations!). A great book overall, especially for someone who wants to get at least a taste of Polish history and culture.

In Depth and Engaging

Incredible story. The historical depth told through personal lives superb. Caravans and Centennial in top three. McKeever is best narrator ever!

One of my top 3

Great read with good story lines in historical time lines. I can see listening again just to make sure I got it.

Great story about a great land!

This is the first book I am reviewing although I have listened to at least 15. I thoroughly enjoyed this book though being Polish part of the recent history was difficult to listen to. This one I will definitely listen to again and recommend it to everyone.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!!
