A new mythology of Galicia, between history and legend, built from stories real and invented about the peasant leader Jakób Szela. Young Kóba feels the lord's whip, is loved by the Jewish girl Chana, falls for the sensual Malwa, wanders through a fairy-tale land and comes to live at the manor before the bloodshed of 1846. A novel about the good and evil in everyone and about unequal chances, full of eroticism, irony and humour.
