Emperor of Madagascar - Profiles Biographies Poland & Polish Americans History

The young Polish diplomat and soldier of the Underground who told Western powers about the Holocaust, the bandit who danced with an empress, the inventor of sound motion pictures, the pioneering woman physician, the man who was at the same time a Polish general, a French general, an Austrian count and the Emperor of Madagascar – meet them, and many others, in the pages of this fascinating book.

Through the perceptive observations and charming style of Kaya Mirecka Ploss you will be introduced to a host of unforgettable people, each rooted in Kaya’s native Poland. Kings and commoners, saints and eccentrics, artists and scientists, historical figures and legends, all come to life through her words.

Drawing on a childhood rich in Polish customs and traditions as well as on lifelong research in Polish history and culture, she paints vivid portraits of world-renowned figures, many of whom she has personally known, and of ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell.

Polish history and the place of Poles in American history are illuminated through these very personal essays. Kaya Mirecka Ploss brings to these profiles and stories the eye of an experienced observer, the heart of a patriot, and the skill of a storyteller.
