The Peasants is a novel written by Nobel Prize-winning Polish author Wladyslaw Reymont in four parts between 1904 and 1909. In The Peasants, Reymont created a more complete and suggestive picture of country life than any other Polish writer. He presents the colourful reality of the "spoken" culture of the people better than any other author. This is one of the most important works of modern Polish literature and has been translated into 25 languages. This volume contains the first two parts - Jesien and Zima.
