Leading motifs in the socio-political description of the state of the first rulers of the Piast Dynasty in the works of Karol Bunsch
The presentation will provide the description of the socio-political realities of the functioning of the Polish state during the time of the first rulers of the Piast Dynasty, as it was decribed in the literary works of Karol Bunsch. Both the personal life experiences of the Author of the "Piast Novels" cycle will be taken into conideration, as well as his references to the Polish post-war historical policy. In the latter case, it will be worth paying special attention to the emphasis on the issues of the constant German threat to the Slavs, the relations between the state and the Catholic Church, and feudal social relations. These issues are also worth considering in the context of the internal policy of the People's Republic of Poland at that time.
