Władysław Reymont's first book: a gonzo reportage, a journey through Poland, through class divisions, through religion, through the countryside, through lands that once held significance, through the psyche of a man who would soon become a phenomenal writer. Illustrations of contemporary Reymont lands and 40 pages of footnotes on their history, fate, and Władysław Reymont's adventures were prepared by Piotr Puldzian Płucienniczak.
