Our guest is Jacek Hajduk, a Cracow-based (Poland) writer and classical philologist. His recent book “The Journal of the Rat Year” (in Polish: Dziennik Roku Szczura”) has been recently published in Poland. <br />The book offers an in-depth historical look into the Chinese-European relations and shows us that a meaningful and patient discovering China’s and Europe’s history will tell us a lot about ourselves and our today challenges. <br /><br />Follow our guest on Twitter: @jahajduk<br /><br />More about the book [in Polish]: <a href="https://www.kew.org.pl/produkt/rok-szczura/" rel="noopener">https://www.kew.org.pl/produkt/rok-szczura/</a><br /> <br />Check out the latest issue of New Eastern Europe: <a href="https://bit.ly/3SPvdon" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3SPvdon</a><br /><br />Read online: "Putin’s mobilisation.
