Book Description
Excerpt from Poland, the Unknown Of all the questions presented for settlement to the Congress of 1919, none was more momentous than that of Poland. Civilization has had to defend itself against Germany - a Prussified Germany. For forty years before the Great War Germany had been penetrated, hypnotized, dominated, possessed, by the evil spirit of Prussia. But the fabric of Prussia was originally reared on the ruins of Poland. Prussia only existed as a real power in Europe because, and when, Poland had ceased to exist. The Polish question is the Prussian question on its reverse side. Whatever Governments may say or do, the feeling of the peoples who have suffered from the Hohenzollerns is Delenda est Borussia. But the cry "Down with Prussia" is equivalent to the demand "Up with Poland." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Kobiety (Women): A Novel of Polish Life It is a fine summer afternoon, and sultry. In the pines overhead there is a faint mur mur, continuous, a little sad; the birches, with their slender waving boughs, utter a quiet whisper, but no breeze is to be felt. As I lie here, I presently fall to crooning a sing-song chant - not any known air, but one made up of many tunes, heard long ago, or never heard at all. The words, too, are either remembered, or they spring up as I sing. If the rhyme fails me, I do not break off the tune to find one, but make an assonance do just as well. So I sing of a dream I have dreamt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I told her, without acquainting her who I was, that I was in no hurry, and would wait till she returned, as I had very particular business with her. The officer seeing me at the place of my destination, and wishing to return immediately to Zabno, took leave of me, after having made me promise that I would give him news of myself. "My mother's domestic introduced me into the drawing-room, where I seated myself, and began to reflect on my strange destiny. The hour at which my mother dined was not far off, and I expected her every moment to make her appearance, with a sensation which it is almost impossible to describe to you. The dinner hour, however, passed away, and it grew dusk, but my mother never came. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from After Bread: A Story of Polish Emigrant Life to America ON the waves of the wide ocean rode the German steamer Blucher, on its pas sage from Hamburg to New York. It had been on its way four days. Two days ago it had passed the green coast of Ireland and reached the broad Atlantic. From the deck, as far as the eye could reach, could be seen the gray and green surface, plowed up in furrows and hol lows, rocking heavily, foaming in places, in the distance more dark, where the water joined the sky in a white, cloudy mist. The reflection from the clouds fell some times upon the water, and upon this pearly background was drawn with sharp outlines the figure of the steamer. The ship, with its bow pointing to the west, climbed to the crest of the billows, and then, as if going to drown itself, sank in the trough of the sea; sometimes it disappeared from View, sometimes it was lifted so high on the top of the waves that part of its keel could be seen - still pressed steadily onward. The waves rolled toward it, and it rushed toward the waves and cut them With its prow. Behind it chased, like a gigantic snake, a wide strip of foaming water; several sea-gulls followed in its wake, circling in the air with their wild cries.
