Komedyantka

Janka Orłowska, a girl from a small town, runs away to join a travelling theatre company in the hope of a life of art. Reymont tells with an eye for detail her years of poverty, quarrels and love among the actors of the provinces. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
