This is the Learn Real Polish podcast. This time I will talk about the Belarusian-Polish writer Sergiusz Piasecki. Even if he did not speak Polish until he was twenty, he is one of the best Polish writers of the 20th century. He was a smuggler and agent of Polish intelligence. His life is as interesting as his novels.
