About Cultural Wars Against Poland Knjižna zbirka

Kulturne vojne proti Poljski je poljudnoznanstvena zgodovinska knjižna zbirka, ki jo izdaja Nacionalni center za kulturo na Poljskem. Zbirka zajema obdobje od konca 17. stoletja do prve polovice 20. stoletja. Zelo groba papirna platnica poudarja sporočilo vojne, surovosti in uničenja. Motiv strgane strani na platnicah je oblikovan s slepim tiskom. Notranjost je natisnjena v dveh barvah, črni in intenzivno rdeči, pri čemer rdeči poudarki nakazujejo na barve poljske zastave. Vezava Otabind omogoča, da se vsak zvezek popolnoma odpre za lažje branje.

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.
