Chopin's Poland: A guidebook to places associated with the composer
Polska Chopina: Przewodnik po miejscach zwiÄ...zanych z pobytem kompozytora
Adaptation: Marita Alban Juarez & Ewa Sławińska-Dahlig
Chopin's Poland is an illustrated guidebook to places in Poland where Fryderyk Chopin stopped, stayed or lived. The historically inaccurate term 'Chopin's Poland' refers in some measure to the patriotic conception of the borders of Poland that was held at the time of the composer's youth. In spite of the Partitions, the whole area of the Polish lands was regarded as Poland at that time. The map of Chopin's Polish journeys does not extend beyond the territory of present-day Poland. For each location, historical information is complemented with a present-day perspective. The places described are grouped according to region: Mazovia, Dobrinland and Culmland, Silesia, Pomerania, Greater Poland, Lesser Poland, Chelmland.
Each chapter of the book contains some fixed elements: the circumstances surrounding the composer's stay, a brief history of the location (building) and a description of its current state.
The final section of the book contains a list of Chopin monuments, statues and commemorative plaques, as well as a bibliography, indices of names and places, and maps (Two colored maps on inside covers and one folded colored map in pocket inside back cover).
A crucial part of this guidebook are the reproductions of almost fifty historical illustrations and lithographs, mostly dating from the first half of the nineteenth century, as well as the most up-to-date photographic documentation of all the places described. The photographs were taken specially for the needs of this book during the period 2003-2008.
