Thanks........

I appreciate the introduction to Michael Hope. I'll add him to my "hit list" of readings.

Also, Trevek.....your comments will sharpen my awareness of your points as my reading of Norman Davies continues.

Take care,

History / any thoughts about Norman Davies ability to present accurate history of Poland?? [12]

I posed this topic on an existing thread and ended up in the middle of one hateful debate. Thought i'd move it over to a new discussion thread.

As I dig deeper and deeper into Polish history and culture I've found myself reading several books by Norman Davies. Currently reading "The Rising".

I'm most impressed by his approach and apparent candor.

What is the reaction to his point of view by those living in Poland? is Norman Davies considered to be an author/historian who accurately reflects Polish history & surrounding circumstances?

Thanks,

Grzegorz

Life / Polish Radio and TV stations online? [68]

Thread attached on merging:
Polish radio via the web

for the past several months i listen to Polish radio......the most enjoyable station i've found thus far is from Warsaw....Slonsky Radio; the music/songs seem to reflect great variety and is generally upbeat (even "cute" sounding often); problem is i don't understand a word; anyone familiar with the station.....i'd appreciate knowing how that stations music would generally be characterized.
