The Untilled Field

Affectionate portrayals of Irish rural life characterize this collection of stories, originally published in 1903. Inspired by Turgenev's work yet rooted in the author's memories of peasants from his family estate in Mayo, the narratives capture the essence of the region. Renowned for its rich writing, this edition reintroduces two previously omitted stories from the 1931 version, enhancing its depth and offering a more comprehensive glimpse into the lives of its characters.
