Founded by a group of oppositional activists that included Adam Michnik and Jacek Kuron, the journal began as an underground outlet for critical political thinking in the period prior to Solidarity. It survived the communist crackdown on Solidarity in 1981 to become the leading source of democratic thought in the new Poland. Today \u003ci\u003eKrytyka\u003c\/i\u003e is published ''above ground'' and continues to be the most consistent voice for a modern, democratic, and open Poland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twenty articles in this volume were chosen by Michael Bernhard, Henryk Szlajfer, and Jan Kofman, the present editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eKrytyka\u003c\/i\u003e. Covering the underground and post-underground years, they introduce the reader to the full range of topics and political views presented by the journal. Taken together these articles provide an excellent overview of the last fifteen turbulent years of Polish history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors are Marek Beylin, Ryszard Bugaj, Anna Bojarska, Krzysztof Jasiewicz, Stanislaw Krajewski, Marcin Kula, Jacek Kuroń, Joanna Kurczewska, Adam Michnik, Edmund Mokrzycki, Piotr Ogrodzińki, Jerzy Osiatyński, Jerzy Surdykowski, Andrzej Werner, Wlodzimierz Wesolowski, Jan Winiecki, Krzysztof Wolicki, and Jef Życiński.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Bernhard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271025654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271025650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.00w x 1.24d","brand":"Michael Bernhard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946379510015,"sku":"9780271025650","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_82ecf169-f6e8-4de1-a3c7-115081b7c9ce.jpg?v=1681512815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-the-polish-underground-michael-bernhard-9780271025650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
