Stolen Dreams is an award-winning historical memoir about a young Polish adventurer, Vladislav Kowalski, who settled in Manchuria, China, from the late 1890s to 1940. It was a time when political struggles between Russia and Japan for control of Manchuria deeply impacted the lives of those living there.
Challenged by wars, rebellions, and ultimately the brutal and consuming Japanese occupation of Manchuria, Vladislav Kowalski was relentless in his pursuit of building a business empire in China. Blending family stories and photographs with historical research, Julie Sormark, Kowalski’s granddaughter, takes readers on a unique and memorable journey back to this adventurous period in Manchuria and China’s history, telling the compelling story of a true pioneer.
