Description
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.

Found out a lot...
Enjoyed the book. WWII part depressing.
I recommend if you want to get the "flavour" of the country.

Horrible narration
I really enjoy Michener, but this narration is horrible. He is practically monotone and almost sounds like a computer voice. I couldn't finish it.

Audible version mechanical; Characters dull
I originally read this book back in the 90's. It's a magnificent read and I couldn't wait to hear the audible version after all this time. However, the performance is lacking; too mechanical and dull. The characters have no life and the store overall is presented at a single tone, Disappointed in the performance not in the store or in Michener.

Paradox
I was very glad I listened to the book, but I found it incredibly tedious. I learned more than I expected, but longer for an emotional connection.
Ultimately I couldn't put it down but listened to it on double time. And now I want to go to Poland by way of Vienna.

Another great masterpiece...
Once again the author brings you into another place, another time and another well researched novel.
With that said it did take me a few extra chapters to fully get involved with the characters and the back ground, but don't give up it's a fantastic novel.
Loved this book and despite others who criticize the narration I loved it. Mitchners books are mainly historical with characters immersed through out that tell the story and facts of what the book is about.
if you have trouble with the narration dial the speed up a notch.

In Depth and Engaging
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.

Impactful
The most profoundly moving book I have read in a long time. It has gained me so much more understanding of the Polish people and their culture. A pity the narrator didn't check who to pronounce Polish words like Wrocław.

What an Engrossing Epic!
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.

One of the best historical fiction booms
This is one of Michener's finest works. It brings to life the soul of Poland and her people as no history book can. Highly recommended.

A good historical novel about Poland
A good novel that describes the history of Poland following the history of 2 families. It Shows also some important elements of the polnish culture. And the important actions that stop the spread of an invasion in Europe).
However the book concentrates too much in the nazi period showing in detail the abuses of the regimen against polnisch and jude people. But miss important parts of the country reconstruction after 1918 (the name of Dmowiski).

Geschichte schön erzählt
Obwohl es hier viel um die Geschichte von Polen geht ist dieses Hörbuch sehr schön erzählt und spannend. So könnte Geschichte immer vermittelt werden.
