Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page report discusses Radek Sikorski, author of “Full Circle,” ideas surrounding the concept that a nation may be restored in much the same way a fine old building can be restored, especially if that building is seen as a home not just a structure. He uses his stories of the reconstruction of the house to reconstruct the stories of his own childhood in a Communist country and the stories of his family and its heritage. He also tells of his work as an international journalist with a brief stint as a Polish government official. “Full Circle” is about much more than the fall of Communism, the rebuilding of Poland, or the restoration of an old house. No secondary sources.

struggles of the past twenty years have been an effort to rebuild what was a fine old estate. The house clearly is a symbol for Sikorski of his homelands
cultural heritage while it is also an analogy of well meaning preservationists attempts to restore the home. He uses his stories of the reconstruction of the house to reconstruct
the stories of his own childhood in a Communist country and the stories of his family and its heritage. Layer upon layer of Sikorskis story telling keeps the reader
well-aware that the story is about so much more than a building. For example, Sikorski tells about his own childhood years (perhaps to too great an extent) through wonderful
stories such as his father convincing a Soviet border patrol that the photo of Pope John Paul was actually a photo of a Polish general station in the south.
