Pawel Jasienica, actually Leon Lech Beynar (born November 10, 1909 in Symbirsk, died August 19, 1970 in Warsaw) - Polish historian, historical writer, essayist and columnist for "Tygodnik Powszechny". Pawel Jasienica is best known for his synthesis of the history of pre-partition Poland (Poland of the Piasts, Poland of the Jagiellons, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), in which he presented views at odds with those of most of his contemporary historians. He was accused of having a so-called personalist understanding of history, contrary to the top-down Marxist historiosophy that was imposed and in force at the time. Jasienica's other popular works include Slavic Origins - a collection of archaeological reportages (this book is a slightly altered version of the book Świt słowiańskiego jutra), Trzej kronikarze - reflections on medieval Poland based on excerpts from the chronicles of Thietmar, Gall Anonym and Wincenty Kadłubek, Dwa drogi - reflections on the January Uprising (this book is a slightly altered version of the book White Front), Ostatnia z rodu - a work dedicated to Anna Jagiellonka. The writer was also the author of reportage books such as Country on the Yangtze River, Vistula will say goodbye to parochialism.
