Wladyslaw St. Reymont

A masterpiece of Polish literature that earned the author the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1924. The work is structured in four parts, each named after a season, emphasizing the cyclical connection of human life with nature.

The story takes place in the village of Lipce at the end of the 19th century, and the central character is Maciej Boryna, the richest peasant in the village. His decision to marry the young and beautiful Jagna causes a series of conflicts, especially with his son Antko, who is also in love with Jagna. This love and family drama reflects deeper social tensions within the community.

Reymont depicts in detail the daily life of peasants, their customs, work habits and social relations. Through a naturalistic and realistic style, the author depicts the complexity of rural life, including conflicts over land, which symbolize the struggle for survival and identity.

The Peasants is more than a chronicle of rural life; it is an epic that explores universal themes such as love, greed, generational conflict and man's relationship with nature. The novel remains relevant today, providing insight into human nature and social dynamics that transcend time and space.
