HARDCOVER PUBLISHER'S CLOTH BINDING, WRAPPER

The wrapper, photomontage and layout were done by Jozef Ratzko.

A description of the Opole region from historical, ethnographic, economic and geographic angles. The whole enriched with extensive illustrative material.

"Behind the lead of an excellent pen in an alluring story, we get to know a world so far unknown that it is simply exotic for most readers: the present and past lives of a million Poles, fighting for their nationality beyond the nearest border of the Republic. Abundant illustrative material: 354 photographic images of Polish life on the banks of the Oder River, in Green and White Silesia. No less vivid than the author's colorful words, they tell of the past and present history of Opole, Raciborz, Bytom, Olesno. There are almost as many of them as there are days in a year, and they cover a thousand years of history." [publisher's note]
