A family of farmers evicted from the land of a Valencian huerta tries to work a cursed plot nobody will touch, and the village answers them with hatred. Blasco Ibáñez's best-known social novel is an unflinching story of land, pride and violence. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
