In 'Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead', Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, introduces us to Janina Duszejko, a retired civil engineer living in a remote mountainous region of Poland. The tranquility of her life is interrupted by a series of mysterious murders of poachers. Janina, a passionate astrologer, animal advocate, and admirer of the poet William Blake, decides to investigate these crimes on her own. Through a police novel plot with ecological touches, Tokarczuk offers us a critique of local society and the lack of respect for nature, raising questions about environmental radicalism. An original and powerful work of current European literature.
