ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead" by Olga Tokarczuk is a philosophical thriller set in a remote Polish village. The story revolves around Janina Duszejko, an eccentric, aging woman who lives a solitary life deeply connected to nature and astrology. When a series of mysterious deaths strike the community, all involving local hunters, Janina becomes convinced that the animals are responsible, enacting revenge for the cruelty inflicted upon them. Her unconventional theories, based on astrological interpretations and observations of animal behavior, are met with skepticism and ridicule by the villagers and the police. However, as the deaths continue, and the evidence points to animal involvement, Janina takes matters into her own hands, becoming both detective and vigilante in a quest for what she believes is a higher form of justice. The novel explores themes of animal rights, human-animal relationships, and the limits of human understanding, weaving a compelling narrative that blurs the lines between reason and intuition, crime and compassion.
