Teodor Talowski
Disregarding the famous cathedrals, castle, medieval market square and university, one could still spend years of their life wide-eyed wandering the side streets of Kraków, tripping on cobbles, taking in every architectural detail, every subtle flourish on every facade.... -
True crime
Four years after he published a gruesome bestseller filled with sex and violence, author Krystian Bala found himself jailed for 25 years, guilty of orchestrating a murder almost identical to the one he described in his book, Amok.... -
Rubinstein
Born in Łódź in 1887 the dapper Jewish pianist Arthur Rubinstein made his debut in Berlin in 1900 and spent much of his life touring the world and dazzling audiences.... -
The Maluch
Like the Czech Škoda and the East German Trabant, the Polish Maluch has served several purposes during its lifetime; a Godsend for families behind the iron curtain, source of merriment for smirking foreigners and now, as a cult icon for commie nostalgists.... -
Stanisław Poniatowski
The wonderfully named Stanisław II August Poniatowski (born Count Stanisław Antoni Poniatowski) was the last King and Grand Duke of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1764-95).... -
Wojtek the bear

Witkacy
Eccentric, flamboyant and tragic, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz - remembered as ‘Witkacy’ (1885-1939) – was one of Poland’s premier avant-garde icons.... -
Ryszard Kapuscinski
He didn’t win any wars, and his role in the downfall of communism was peripheral at the very best, yet when it comes to making lists of the greatest Poles of the 20th century, few come out on top of Ryszard Kapuściński.... -
Tipping Tribulations
Polish tipping etiquette can be a bit confusing for foreigners. While in other civilized countries it’s ... -
Solidarity
Although Solidarity was officially christened in 1980, its roots can be traced some ten years earlier.... -
Max Berg

Polish Friends of Beer Party
www.polskapartianarodowa.org
