Book in Polish by Dziok-Kaczyńska Marta. What is a banter and what does it have in common with a pub? Why is it that the further north you go, the nicer the English are? Is everything treated with paracetamol in England? Situated on an island, England has always been a challenge to invaders and a refuge for migrants. For centuries she has led the world's largest empire, as can be seen in the class division of society and the popularity of the monarchy. And although she is sometimes called the black sheep of the UK by the other British nations, she gave the world Jane Austen, Sherlock Holmes and James Bond. Without the English, we would not know the art of complaining, pubs, five o'clock or fish and chips. It is the story of modern multicultural England, a country where Poles are the largest minority, health care works quite well and the pub is becoming a unifying place for a society still trying to find its way after Brexit. At the same time, it is an expedition through centuries of tumultuous history, quaint corners and moors to the centre of Englishness - London. Marta Dziok-Kaczyńska's book shows us Britain from the inside in a light-hearted and easy-to-understand way, proving that although we all know almost all of the English language, we need far more to understand the English.
