About This Book

A rural village portrait follows a farmholder who oversees threshing and daily work while worrying about lazy hired hands, mechanization, rising taxes and postwar scarcity. Domestic scenes alternate with field labor and community talk, revealing debates over land distribution, smallholdings and politics. The narrative depicts measures to sell or allot plots to day laborers, tensions between landowners and workers, and the protagonist's scepticism toward socialist and communist proposals in favor of private land ownership as a path to secure livelihoods.
