Frederic Francois ChopinChopin
Chopin played the piano in public when only eight years
old. He began to compose soon afterward. He studied at the Warsaw Conservatory
from 1826 to 1829 before leaving Poland in 1830. He settled in Paris in 1831,
and, except for some travel, he lived there the rest of his life.

Chopin
The poles also have an insatiable appetite for translations of Molire and
Shaw and for their own 19th-century dramatists who wrote from exile, when their
country was partitioned among three neighboring empires.
The plays, novels, and music of this period helped keep the Poles' sense of
nationhood alive. One composer, in particular, has stirred polish pride through
the dark years, He, of course, is Chopin, whose birthplace at Zelazowa Wola, 28
miles west of Warsaw, is a national shrine. here, every Sunday in the spring and
summer, the public is invited to a Chopin concert.

Polish Corridor塣
POLISH CORRIDOR is a historic strip of land that was once the ancient polish
province of Pomorze. Poland lost the province to Prussia in 1772. When Prussia
become a German state in 1871, the area fell into German control.
After World War I, the Versailles Treaty established the corridor of land to
give Poland free access to the Baltic Sea. The corridor separated East Prussia
and the port city of Danzig from the rest of Germany. In 1939, Germany regained
control of the area when Nazi troops invaded Poland. After World War II, the
corridor was returned to Poland.
Most Poles are Roman Catholics, and religion is
important in their lives, Poland has been a Christian country for 1000 years.

demonstrated how the earth's motions could be used to explain the motions of
other heavenly bodies. His theory laid the foundations for the telescopic
discoveries of Galileo, the planetary laws of Johannes Kepler, and the
gravitation principle of Sir Isaac Newton.
Copernicus was born in the city of Thornnow Toru, Poland, and attended

Jacob was the son of Isaac, and the father of the 12 sons who founded the
Twelve Tribes of Israel, according to the Old Testament. He bought his older
brother Esau's birthright with a bowl of savory stewmess of pottage.
Later, Jacob enforced his claim by pretending to his blind and aged father that
he himself was Esau. Thus, he obtained from Isaac the words of blessing Isaac
had meant for Esau. Esau was so angry that Jacob fled for his life.
On the way to his uncle Laban, Jacob slept at a place called Bethel, where
he dreamed of a wonderful ladder between heaven and earth. In the dream, God
promised to protect and bless him while he was away from home. Much encouraged,
Jacob went on to Laban's home. There he fell on love with Laban's daughter,
Rachel. But Laban forced Jacob to marry hid older daughter. Leah, before he
could have Rachel for his wife. After working 20 years for Laban, Jacob left for
home.
On the way, Jacob prayed all night until God reassured him that Esau would
spare his life. Esau met him with forgiveness, and they parted good friends.
Jacob spent his last years in Egypt, where his son Joseph brought him to live.
Esau was the son of Isaac and Rebecca, and twin brother of Jacob in the
Bible. He is a main character in many stories found in Genesis 25-33. The best
known are Jacob's cheating him out of his birthright for amess of pottage
Gen.2527-34, and the loss of his blessing through the plotting of his mother
and brotherGen.27. Esau was reconciled to Jacob after the latter's return to
Palestine 20 years later.
Biblical history regards Esau as the founder of the Edomite nation.

rungs. It is dropped over the side of a ship to enable people to ascend from or
descend to small boats alongside. Harbor pilots usually come aboard via a
Jacob's ladder.

The Jacob's ladder gets its name from an incident in the Book of Genesis28
12. The patriarch Jacob falls asleep and the a visionAnd he dreamed, and
behold a ladder set up on the earth, and he top of it reached to heavenand
behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Jacob's ladder has been used in at least two other quite earthly meanings. A
small plant with a flower-and-leaf formation resembling a ladder bears this
name. In England, also what we Americans callrunsin hosiery were formerly
called Jacob's ladders. Nowadays they are simply ladders.
