The Peasants Walk the Pathways by Pablo Antonio Cuadra tr. William Gregory

Set in rural Nicaragua in the 1920s, Pablo Antonio Cuadra’s tragic tale of life in a time of war sees one family torn apart by civil war, exploitation and occupation. Buffeted and bewildered by political and personal conflicts, Sebastiano and Juana strive to keep heart and home together even as their sons are conscripted and their daughter subjected to the violence of occupation, while a
local doctor’s greed threatens their very livelihood.
