Sample Book Insights:

#1 Before Herodotus travels to many different places and sees many different things, he will appear in a lecture on ancient Greece delivered twice weekly to the first-year students in Warsaw University’s department of history. He will just as quickly disappear.

#2 The Histories of Herodotus, a book written about two and a half thousand years ago, was translated into Polish in the mid-1940s. But the book was suddenly halted due to the atmosphere of fear that existed following the death of Stalin.

#3 A person consumed by allusion will reach for Herodotus. He will find allusions everywhere, from the Histories, which consists of nine books. Each one is a pile of allusions.

#4 I was a novice reporter for a newspaper called Sztandar M?odych. I was assigned to follow the trail of letters sent to the editor back to their points of origin. I wanted to cross the border and come right back, but I didn’t know how to do it.
