Bunt (Polish Edition)

Reymont's last book, Bunt, was serialized 1922 and published in book form in 1924. It describes a revolt by animals which take over their farm in order to introduce "equality". The revolt quickly degenerates into abuse and bloody terror. The story was a metaphor for the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and was banned 1945–1989 in communist Poland, along with George Orwell's similar novella, Animal Farm (published in Britain in 1945).
