Lech Walesa's publications:
„Droga nadziei" (The road of hope)
„Droga nadziei" (The road of hope) is an extraordinary document. That is a presentation of Lech Walesa life- from early childhood through 1984. His life became emblematic of the particular generation of Poles, who were participants of the events of December '70, Solidarity and who experienced ‘the frosty night of the martial law'. Lech Walesa's memories are confronted with those of his friends' and collaborators'. As a result we are proud to present a gripping portrait of an ordinary worker, who became the symbol of hope.
„Moja III RP" (My 3rd Republic of Poland)
Lech Wałęsa, defends in his characteristic direct way "our child, which was announced, with hope, pride and tenderness, the 3rd Republic of Poland". Walesa reminds its beginnings and development, including times of success or failure. He presents his own opinion about mentioned period and writes not as a writer but as a revolutionary and a true participant of those events. He is confident that "the episode called the 4th Republic of Poland, being the travesty of a solidary and happy nation of Poles, shall not destroy his creation". This publication includes additional 40 pages of photos.
