The Peasants Autumn 1925 Reymont Ladislas Vintage Hardcover English

Description: The Peasants - Autumn vintage English hardcover, 1920s translated from Polish Excerpt of a review by Ursula Phillips found on eurolitnetwork.net:Set in the village of Lipce in the Russian Partition area of Poland in the 1880s, The Peasants is no pastoral idyll, but a saga of poverty and hardship, betrayal and jealousy, gossip and revenge, where richer peasants, such as the miller and blacksmith, exploit the poorer. Despite its length (893 pages in the new translation), it bristles with drama, intense emotions and punchy dialogue. Władysław Reymont’s epic novel of peasant life was originally serialised in the Warsaw magazine Illustrated Weekly between 1902 and 1908, first published as a book in 1909, and translated into English in 1921. In 1924 Reymont was awarded the Nobel Prize for this one work, suggesting its perceived importance not only in Polish letters but also internationally; Reymont has been compared to Zola and Hardy.
