Hrywda with delivery to Ireland

An extraordinary story of everyday life in a village in Polesia, Hrywda. The author portrays the daily highs and lows of such an existence, drawing in bold strokes the ignorance and backwardness of the peasants, who are unable to live in harmony either with themselves or with others. The rhythm of life is dictated by the seasons, age-old custom, faith and superstition, woven together into an inviolable order of things.

Interwoven with these descriptions, which seem almost exotic today, is the drama of the main character, who is in love with a girl of unsuitable material and social standing. The man is unable to take his life into his own hands, which leads to moral and psychological catastrophe. A remarkable blend of realism and the fairy-tale.
