More about the book
The 1915 collection of short stories sparked significant controversy, particularly in Wales, where it led to police action and public outrage. Praised internationally as a work of art, the book depicts the west Wales peasantry in a harsh light, portraying them as subhuman figures driven by greed, and critiques the local non-conformist Liberal elite. This provocative portrayal ignited a fierce debate, resulting in the burning of copies and extensive media correspondence, solidifying Evans' reputation as an infamous author in his homeland.
