The Thistles of the Baragan

Panait Istrati, Jacques Le Clercq (trans)
Originally written in French, this classic offers a “lyrical” portrait of Romanian peasants, dedicated to the victims of the 1907 Uprising. It follows Mataké, a young boy wandering the harsh, windy steppes of the Baragan desert.
