Dzikie pola socjalizmu czyli kowbojskie Bieszczady

I find it difficult to review this book. It's not particularly gripping or well written, more of a somewhat boring documentary about a small place in the world, from a very personal perspective. But then on the other hand, I share this perspective somewhat, having been in that small corner of Bieszczady every summer since I was a little kid.

Author chronicles, in snapshots, the early ages of re-settling the region after Akcja Wisła. Showcases the personalities of the people who arrived - and stayed - in the wild lands, as Bieszczady were looked at. Does so with clearly visible love towards the places and the characters.

If names like Rajskie, Tworylne, Krywe, Hulskie, Zatwarnica, Sękowiec, Smolnik, Żłobek, Muczne, Wołosate, Wetlina czy Smerek have a place in your heart, if you know how the silence in the murdered villages sounds, you will enjoy this book. And perhaps cry a bit, because things change, and they are not like they used to be.
