Appalled at the miserable conditions in which he finds the peasants of his native land, he challenges what he believes is a policy of neglect by both landlords and the authorities.This book provides insight into a true story of one returning immigrant's encounter with the people he loves, the landlords he despises and the law under which he suffered.
