This is an automatically translated description

The novel by the famous Lithuanian writer (1893-1967) takes place in 1861-1964, when the Lithuanian people, outraged by the tsarist "peasant reform", created armed groups to win land, freedom and national independence. The work is centred on the image of young Petras Balsis. His difficult and pure love for Katre is directly intertwined with historical events, against which the picture of the life of the Lithuanian slea of that time is also depicted. In addition, the events in the novel develop rapidly, intriguingly, with an almost detective plot.
