Poland in Transition: 1989-1991 by Pichaske, David Format: Trade PaperbackPublished by Ellis Pr, 1994 With the sharp eye of a sympathetic outsider, Pichaske examines life on the Po lish streets during the country’s difficult transition from communism to free market capitalism. Recounting adventures in the markets, bureaus, hospital, and shops of his own working-class city of Lodz, and in the great old Polish cities of Krakow, Warsaw, Poznan, and Gdansk—as well as auto and train trips to Berlin, Leningrad, and Greece—he introduces artists, businessmen, bureaucrats, foresters, shopkeepers, street workers, students and intellectuals.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
