Bogatynia, eine kleine Stadt an einem außergewöhnlich interessanten Ort – am Dreiländereck, an der polnischen, tschechischen und deutschen Grenze gelegen. Die Gemeindegrenzen sind gleichzeitig die Landesgrenzen und die nächsten Nachbarn das unweit entfernte Frýdlant und Zittau.
Dank des Turów-Komplexes, der sich in der Gemeinde befindet, ist Bogatynia in aller Munde. Aufgrund eines polnisch-tschechischen Konflikts über den Kohleabbau im nahe gelegenen Bergwerk und Beschwerden von der tschechischen Seite wegen des durch den Abbau verursachten Wassermangels, waren die Augen ganz Europas und der EU auf Bogatynia gerichtet.

The author pays attention to the advantages and disadvantages of living in the city versus the countryside. The book delves into the theme of seeking peace and a place we can call home. A powerful and moving story that compels us to contemplate our own paths to finding tranquility.
