Description
Can you distil the essence of a country into just 100 words? We think so.
Written by Miköaj Gli¿ski, Matthew Davies and Adam ¿u¿awski, and illustrated by award-winning graphic designer Magda Burdzynska, Quarks, Elephants & Pierogi: Poland in 100 Words is made up of a series of 100 full-colour illustrations and articles that each discuss all sorts of Polish words, such as mi¿ö¿ (love), imieniny (name day), ojczyzna (fatherland), wolnö¿ (freedom), and even fili¿anka (tea cup). Often via etymology, each word is an entry point to the multi-layered world of Polish culture and history.
