On 440 pages of the album, photographer Adam Bujak brings us closer to Eastern Poland. 177 border towns appear as unique places, uncontaminated by factories and exhaust fumes, to which people from all corners of the globe flock. We see a picturesque world of magnificent monuments, mountains, a world steeped in freedom, patriotic tradition and diverse culture.

During the promotion of the book, Marshal of the Sejm Marek Kuchciński congratulated Adam Bujak on capturing the extraordinary character of this part of Poland. The Marshal pointed out that strength and power come from beautiful architecture, landscape and nature. He emphasized historical, natural and cultural values of Eastern Poland, as well as excellent photo capturing of various moments of human life.

The album contains 600 photographs. The book is the author's tribute paid on the 100th anniversary of regaining independence by Poland. The texts were written by Bishop Antoni Pacyfik Dydycz, the Ordinary of Drohiczyn for many years. The publisher is Biały Kruk. Under the patronage of the Speaker of the Sejm.
