I contadini. Nobel 1924

His detailed descriptions made me feel immersed in the village's daily routines. I wonder what inspired his approach to capturing these traditions so authentically.

The characters seem torn between old customs and new aspirations, which added a lot of emotional weight. How did others interpret these internal struggles?

The way the story flows through natural cycles felt intentional. I'm curious whether Reymont planned this structure from the start or it evolved during writing.
