t.1
Warsaw 1933; published by the Fund for National Culture; pp [2], 454; format 17x25.5 cm
The content of the work is the great conflict of history, played out over the centuries in the immensity of the terrain of eastern Europe between the boldly rival powers.Moscow's adversary I have designated as the Jagiellons: this dynasty was a great exponent and defender of the interests of both nations - so to discuss in the next parts of the work, in addition to Lithuania, which was close to the Jagiellons, and the role of Poland in the east seems to me an indispensable necessity to deepen the problem.The expansion of Poland into Ruthenia did not begin with the Union and only through the Union:pushed with an iron hand the initiative of the nation towards the eastern frontiers already the last of the royal Piasts:(...).A glimpse into the Polish-Lithuanian history of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries allows you to understand the greatest deed of Sigismund Augustus-the creation of a common Republic.
