 Poland is a country of contrasts, where the past and the present, the east and the west, the sacred and the secular, the simple and the sophisticated, coexist and enrich each other. Poland is a country of paradoxes, where the tragic and the heroic, the sublime and the grotesque, the serious and the humorous, the realistic and the fantastic, blend and balance each other. Poland is a country of surprises, where the unexpected and the unknown, the mysterious and the marvelous, the hidden and the revealed, await and astonish the visitor."
