Kraków – erstwhile the arrogant capital of Poland, the city of kings, witness to the erstwhile size of the Republic. Today, at a time erstwhile many view monuments simply as a background to selfie, Master Adam Bujak shows that his hometown is much more than a museum of the past. It is simply a surviving chronicle of Polish history, centuries-old tradition and culture of the Polish nation, which have since its dawn been rooted in Christianity.
Adam Bujak Krakow considers as an ornament of the full Poland, as a fortified stand and matrix of all Poles, as an old author of John Długosz.
The centuries-old Polish tradition, culture, Christian roots – all this is seen on the streets of Krakow, present the city is inactive colorful and rich in content, which can be constantly rediscovered. And that's what Adam Bujak does, who takes us first – as if otherwise! – to Wawel. It goes on the Wawel Cathedral as after the sanctuary and vault of the 12th century Polish history.

On the album's pages we besides visit the Main marketplace Square, churches, shrines, university, necropolis, Planty, we besides look at the customs of celebrating the craters, or pay attention to aspects of modernity, which besides visited the royal castle. Finally, we decision to Krakow fleeting, painted on photos taken at different times of the day and year, erstwhile the rays of the sun, darkness or fog make a unique climate.
The word and image recorded in Adam Bujak's monumental album and Joanna Wieliczka-Szarkowa are an emotional communicative about the city, which is constantly changing, and yet continues, retaining its heritage rooted in history. Krakow appears here as a pearl of architecture, but above all as the heart of the nation – faithful to its values, Christianity and past of Poland. It is simply a beautiful, unique work of the highest editorial quality – a essential position for anyone who proudly, respectfully and consciously creates the identity of the Polish nation.
