The series evokes the events of 1900-35 - from the reign of Emperor Wilhelm II, through World War I, the birth of the Independent Poland, the Silesian Uprisings, to the increasingly turbulent period of the rising tide of fascism. The action takes place mainly in the palace of the Dukes of Pszczyna, where the last great descendant of the von Teuss family resides. Prince Hans Fredrich marries the beautiful Englishwoman, Princess Daisy, and has three sons with her. Their fate, the choice of completely different life paths and even different nationalities reflect the enormously complicated mutual relations between the Polish and German elements in the border areas.

Glory and Glory poster
3.3

Adaptation of the once very loud, today somewhat forgotten book of Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz . "Fame and Glory" is the most extensive novel by the author of "Brzezina". Written with epic panache, it outlines the history of the Polish intelligentsia from "the first days of July 1914" to the fall of 1947. It is also an epitaph for the spiritual face of Polish culture, and a little bit European, shaped in the nineteenth century.
