"Polskiness" by Janicki: Where Do Our National Traits Come From?

Kamil Janicki, author of a trilogy on the old Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Pańszczyzna, Warcholstwo, Dziesięcina), has published a new book titled "Polskiness". Rather than describing the past, he asks: who are we and why? The book analyzes features of the Polish national character — including Europe's record-high distrust — and traces their roots in the manor farm, the local parliament, and the pulpit.
