Actually he was of R1b haploshit line.
He was raised in Polish culture though.

Luther on the other hand had l2 haploshit(Balkan Slavs)

Marie Curie, one of the greatest scientists and THE greatest female scientists, was born in Russia but did her science in France, so I am not sure if Russians or French can claim her for herself

Yes, and? That's part of being Polish.

Maybe, I don't know his books very well, Lord Jim is compulsory in our schools, I also read Heart of Darkness and The Shadow Line, but I find it all kinda boring. Dickens is more interesting. I also unironically like Jane Austin, kek. The British literature is really atypical actually, but it's a topic for some longer discussion that doesn't fit this board.

>>72093913
I wasn't under the impression that Slavs were incapable of scientific thought so this is unsurprising

>>72096494
>Lord Jim is compulsory in our schools
You sure about that? I only had Heart of Darkness in school six or so years ago and the new compulsory reading lists I found don't mention Lord Jim either.

Neither, because she spoke Polish and named her dicovery 'Polonium' - latin 'Polonia' for Poland.

He didn't actually say that. He did say something about the average brit being the best human in the world though.

>>72096494
I really like heart of darkness and lord jim, but the secret agent is my favourite book by him.

Only polish book I've ever read is that one about the PLC and the Ukrainian uprising, reccommend me some good polish authors

There was no Polish country but there was a Polish nation, germy

>>72097291
lets agree that there was a cultural group called "polish"

>>72097040
Stanislaw Lem was GOAT sci fi, definietly check him out. Also Sienkiewicz, he was a master of comfy, he even got a nobel prize if im not mistaken

>>72097039
Are there no Germans born before 1871?

Btw are you retarded?

>>72097357
There were Prussians and Austrians and Bavarians and many other, but no Germans

>>72097040
>Only polish book I've ever read is that one about the PLC and the Ukrainian uprising, reccommend me some good polish authors
By Fire and Sword, it's not considered as the best literature here, one of our writers called Sienkiewicz "a first-tier secon-tier writer", or something like that. Sienkiewicz received the Nobel Prize, but he is more similar to Walter Scott or Alexander Dumas.

>the secret agent
This is on my list, but as for now I've only seen the movie, unfortunately.

>>72097413
You retarded bro?

>>72097426
>By Fire and Sword, it's not considered as the best literature here
Spit those words out and apologise

>>72097700
Sienkiewicz wrote in phenomenal Polish, he was also a master of epic historical stories, but those stories aren't related to fundamental philosophical questions. Well, maybe Quo Vadis, kinda.

>>72097040
This is a better recommendation, it doesn't require any knowledge of Polish history and it's also much deeper than Sienkiewicz:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh_(novel)

funny fact:
>Pharaoh has been translated into twenty languages and adapted as a 1966 Polish feature film.[5] It is also known to have been Joseph Stalin's favourite book.[6]

I also second that anon who recommended Lem - it's sci-fi, but really deep, just check His Master's Voice, for example. It's a kind of philosophical treatise, although it may be too serious for some people. Basically everything by Lem is worth recommending, except for his first sci-fi novel Astronauts.

R1b is truly the mark of excellence.

Yeah, By Fire and Sword was the book I've read.

I'll check out some Lem and that Pharaoh book looks quality, thanks anons

>>72097426
>one of our writers called Sienkiewicz "a first-tier secon-tier writer"
It was Sapkowski and I think it was a bit of projecting on his part, since Sapkowskis Witcher series is what I would describe as really well written fantasy pulp

that's completely wrong though, he was ethnic polish but raised in german culture by his german uncle's family, he wrote mainly in latin and german and spoke german in private.

There were literally no Germans born before 1871.

There weren't even any Germans born after 1871 either.

Allow me to let you in on the real redpill.

Germans don't exist. The spook of the "German" ethnos is entirely invented by Jews.

>>72096941
mmm polonium, putin thanks you for that
