Pub Year 2010, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> This album features photographs by Henryk Poddebski, showcasing the E…astern Borderlands, which were a part of the II Republic of Poland. It invites readers on a visual journey through the Vilnius, Polesie, Volhynia, Podole, and Pokucie Regions?lands that exist in the imagination of contemporary Poles as both tangible and mystical spaces. The stunning images encourage reflection on the significance of these Eastern Borderlands, especially after their loss more than seventy years ago.Following the Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939, these regions experienced a pivotal change in their historical context. For centuries, from the era of King Casimir the Great and King Wladyslaw Jagiello, these areas were integral to the Polish nation, forming part of the Kingdom of Poland and later the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The union formed in the 16th century solidified a common existence between the Polish Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, influencing the identity of the people in these territories. The reshaping of national boundaries following World War I further complicated this narrative, as Poles fought to reclaim independence and grappled with the aspirations of Byelorussians and Ukrainians in those lands.The Eastern Borderlands embody a complex tapestry of ethnicities, having been inhabited by Poles, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, as well as Armenians, Tatars, Czechs, and Germans over centuries. The II Republic of Poland viewed this mosaic of nations as a treasure, enriching the cultural and historical legacy of the region. This album serves not only as a visual tribute but also as an invitation to engage with the memories and heritage encapsulated within these evocative landscapes.
