  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 some 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.
