"Reviewing the material collected in this book with such effort and reverence, illustrating the 20-year achievements of modern Poland, I can clearly feel this cluster of contradictory judgments that grumbles every intelligent Pole today. Here you have irrefutable evidence and documents not only of the great vigor of the nation le and testimony to all the miracles achieved during the period of independence in industry and agriculture, in science and technology, in cities and in the countryside, at sea and on land: these are numerous works of historical value. But right next to this swarms the juxtaposition of the ,,state of affairs" compared to the state of affairs of the great countries of the West. And immediately the charm of all achievements and triumphs is lost. And when, in addition, we leap for a moment from the book illustrating our achievements, from the statistics characterizing irrefutably our efforts to "pull Poland upwards" and reach the peasant's hut, associated with a dwarf farm, to the apartment of an unemployed person in the suburbs of Warsaw or Lodz, to the household budget of a small civil servant, all our optimism grown against the background of the synthesis is transformed into deep pessimism, illustrated and strengthened by a comprehensive analysis. So there are two truths and two realities of Polish life." - excerpt from the book
