Sentence II

Hi, I hope someone will have the nerves for this. It's a long and complicated sentence. Is there any hope for it?


Wherever the word romanticism is used or is referring to the science of historical research that means that the very worst of a history presentation is being showed up, it means glorifying the role and the achievements of a particular nation or an ethnic group, at the cost of others and at the cost of the real truth (yes I still romantically believe that is possible to reveal the real truth, up to 99 % [why not 100 % someone might ask – because I recall one Polish saying that whoever claims to be right 100 % in any issue that may arise between people the same person is regarded as being the most despicable bastard]).

Thanks a lot Clive, what do you think about this:

Whenever the word romanticism is used in describing the methodology of a piece of the historical research that means that the very worst in doing a historical presentation is at work. It means glorifying the role and the achievements of particular nation or an ethnic group, usually at the cost of others and at the cost of the real truth
