In the Polish village of Lipce, scandal, romance and drama crackle in every hearth. Boryna, a widower and the village's wealthiest farmer, has taken the young and beautiful Jagusia as his bride -- but she only has eyes for his impetuous son Antek. Over the course of four seasons -- Autumn to Summer -- the tangled skein of their story unravels, watched eagerly by the other peasants: the gossip Jagustynka, pious Roch, hot-blooded Mateusz, gentle Witek. At once richly lyrical and realistic, comic, tragic and reflective, Władysław Reymont's epic novel is a love song to the land, and to the eternal timeless matters of the heart.
