Ślimak, a Polish peasant, clings to his small farm while a German colonist, a landlord and a changing countryside lean on him to sell. Prus's short, plain novel of stubbornness and loss sets one family against the forces of the new age. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Summary written with Claude Sonnet 5.5.
