ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead" by Olga Tokarczuk is a captivating mystery novel set in a remote Polish village. The story follows Janina Duszejko, an eccentric and fiercely independent woman deeply connected to nature and astrology. When a series of mysterious deaths plagues the village, primarily targeting local hunters, Duszejko suspects foul play. Her unconventional theories, linking the deaths to the mistreatment of animals and drawing upon astrological interpretations, are met with skepticism by the authorities and even her closest friends. Driven by her profound empathy for animals and fueled by her astrological insights, Duszejko embarks on a personal investigation to uncover the truth, challenging conventional notions of justice and the human-centric view of the world. The novel explores themes of animal rights, environmentalism, and the complex relationship between humanity and the natural world.
