About Cultural Wars Against Poland Knižná séria

Kultúrne vojny proti Poľsku je populárno-náučná historická knižná séria, ktorú vydáva Národné centrum kultúry v Poľsku. Séria pokrýva obdobie od konca 17. storočia do prvej polovice 20. storočia. Veľmi hrubý papier obálky umocňuje posolstvo vojny, drsnosti a deštrukcie. Motív roztrhnutej strany na obálkach je vytvorený slepou razbou. Vnútro je vytlačené dvomi farbami, čiernou a intenzívnou červenou, pričom červené akcenty odkazujú na farby poľskej vlajky. Väzba Otabind umožňuje každému zväzku otvoriť sa naplocho pre pohodlnejšie čítanie.

The publication is devoted to deliberate diffusion measures against Poland carried out by neighboring countries. The series covers the period from the end of the 17th century to the first half of the 20th century. The issues discussed in the following volumes make it possible to see the continuity of the anti-Polish narrative and show how the distribution of anti-Polish accents changed depending on the current goals of the partitioning powers.
