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.

Soubor patnácti povídek vykreslujících život, kulturu a společenské poměry na venkově v západním Walesu. Výraz „Naši“ označuje „venkovský lid západního Walesu“, konkrétněji pak autorovu rodinu a sousedy. Povídky, spojené místem a některými postavami, tvoří jednotný celek. Odehrávají se ve fiktivní vesnici, jejíž okolí a krajina připomíná autorovo rodiště na jihu hrabství Cardiganshire. Kulturu této oblasti Evans popisuje jako závislou na přísném třídním, patriarchálně uspořádaném systému charakterizovaném pokleslou formou náboženství, které je jádrem této kultury. Tematicky se autor neomezil jen na kritiku politické angažovanosti waleských modliteben, ale dotýká se i dalších ožehavých otázek, jako jsou úpadek lidskosti, incest, sebevražda či zacházení se ženami.
