ENThe readers of the book will become acquainted with the study The Ornaments in Samogitian Folk Art by Józef Perkowski, whose life was closely bound with the tragic fate of Lithuanian Republic of that time. So to speak, all main state changes found their reflection on the private life of the author as well as on his relatives' lives. The restored State of Lithuania from the very first days of its existence had to fight for its rights both against Russia and against Poland. Moreover, the stage of mutual state co-operation among them through contiguous states' force had already been finished by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania at the end of the 18th century. The conflict with Poland stirred Lithuanian people's regard towards manors as well as towards the nobles' negligible approach to the use of the mother tongue. Naturally, the confrontation with Poland for political reasons at once reflected upon the internal affairs of the State and upon people's attitude towards the nobles, not in the least. We may only try to imply the nobles' disregard of all this, the genealogy of whose, at least in some respect, was bound with the former twentieth - century the territory of the Polish State. The Perkowskis belonged to the people of this kind. [From the publication p. 15]
