Nowa Ruda is a small town in Silesia, a region that has at times been part of Poland, Germany, and the former Czechoslovakia. When the narrator of Olga Tokarczuk's House of Day, House of Night moves into the area, she discovers that everyone - and everything - has a story. With the help of Martha, her enigmatic neighbor, she collects these stories, and what emerges is the message that the history of any place - no matter how humble - is limitless and universal.
Tokarczuk's richly imagined novel is an epic of a small place. A best-seller in Poland, House of Day, House of Night is the English-language debut of one of Europe's best young writers.

FLIGHTS, a novel about travel in the twenty-first century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk's most ambitious to date. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. From the seventeenth century, we have the story of the Dutch anatomist Philip Verheyen, who dissected and drew pictures of his own amputated leg. From the eighteenth century, we have the story of a North African-born slave turned Austrian courtier stuffed and put on display after his death. In the nineteenth century, we follow Chopin's heart as it makes the covert journey from Paris to Warsaw. In the present we have the trials of a wife accompanying her much older husband as he teaches a course on a cruise ship in the Greek islands, and the harrowing story of a young husband whose wife and child mysteriously vanish on a holiday on a Croatian island. With her signature grace and insight, Olga Tokarczuk guides the reader beyond the surface layer of modernity and towards the core of the very nature of humankind.

A subversive, entertaining noir novel from the winner of the 2018 Man Booker Prize.
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead takes place in a remote Polish village, where Janina, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, she becomes involved in the investigation. Janina is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she’s unconventional, believing in the stars, and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken.
Filled with wonderful characters like Maladroit, Big Foot, Black Coat, Dizzy and Boros, this subversive, entertaining noir novel, by ‘one of Europe’s major humanist writers’ (Guardian), offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalised people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination—and getting away with murder.

Nowa, bardzo oczekiwana powiesc, której pisarka poswiecila ostatnie trzy lata pracy. "Bieguni" to ksiazka odwazna, w której Olga Tokarczuk opowiada o sobie i o swoim widzeniu swiata.

In The Books of Jacob , Tokarczuk traverses the Hapsburg and Ottoman Empires and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in search of Jacob Frank, a highly controversial historical figure from the eighteenth century and the leader of a mysterious, heretical Jewish splinter group that converted at different times to both Islam and Catholicism. Examining Frank through the eyes of both his supporters and those who reviled him, Tokarczuk paints an intricate picture of a divisive yet charismatic man whose life highlights the complex narrative strands of history.

Tokarczuk's third novel, Primeval and Other Times was awarded the Passport Prize in 1996 and the Koscielski Prize in 1997, which established the author as one of the leading voices in Polish letters. It is set in the mythical village of Primeval in the very heart of Poland, which is populated by eccentric, archetypal characters. The village, a microcosm of Europe, is guarded by four archangels, from whose perspective the novel chronicles the lives of Primeval's inhabitants over the course of the feral 20th century. In prose that is forceful and direct, the narrative follows Poland's tortured political history from 1914 to the contemporary era and the episodic brutality that is visited on ordinary village life. Yet Primeval and Other Times is a novel of universal dimension that does not dwell on the parochial. A stylized fable as well as epic allegory about the inexorable grind of time, the clash between modernity (the masculine) and nature (the feminine), it has been translated into most European languages. Tokarczuk has said of the novel: "I always wanted to write a book such as this. One that creates and describes a world. It is the story of a world that, like all things living, is born, develops, and then dies." Kitchens, bedrooms, childhood memories, dreams and insomnia, reminiscences, and amnesia - these are part of the existential and acoustic spaces from which the voices of Tokarczuk's tale come, her "boxes in boxes."

太古是个地方，它位于宇宙的中心。
倘若步子迈得快，从北至南走过太古，大概需要一个钟头的时间，从东至西需要的时间也一样。但是，倘若有人迈着徐缓的步子，仔细观察沿途所有的事物，并且动脑筋思考，以这样的速度绕着太古走一圈，此人就得花费一整天的时间。从清晨一直走到傍晚。
一个名为太古的地方，位于波兰偏远之地的虚构村落。它的四方边界由四位天使长守护：北面拉斐尔，南面加百列，西边米也勒，东边乌列尔。太古的边界有道看不见，且无法逾越的墙——那些自以为离开太古的人在墙前困梦，他们醒来后，反身回家，将梦当成了回忆。
禁烟在太古村的人们欲望本真，灵魂散发洪荒时代原始的气息，爱和恨同样强烈：伊齐多尔用他孤寂而蒙昧的一生爱着鲁塔——以身体喂养太古众多男人的麦穗儿和化身美男子的欧白立树，在夏夜交欢生下的女儿。
鲁塔看得见隐性的太古边界，听得见菌丝体心脏八十年一次的搏动，到得了太古的中心。鲁塔爱伊齐多尔，她在爱里久久地、久久地折磨着他。
人在爱欲之中，独生独死，独往独来。当鲁塔逾越了边界，前往遥远的温热的南方，伊齐多尔要如何从世界四个窗口的束缚中离开…
奥尔嘉·朵卡获借着八十四则以不同时间为题的小章节，断裂又连贯的呈现出一个虚构的村落长达八十年的人事变迁，从中映照出万物存在的情境。她轻盈，诗意，充满神话意味的书写宛如一场亘古大梦，梦中流淌着生命、爱情，和时间的记忆。

A seventeenth-century Dutch anatomist discovers the Achilles tendon by dissecting his own amputated leg. Chopin's heart is carried back to Warsaw in secret by his adoring sister. A woman must return to her native Poland in order to poison her terminally ill high school sweetheart, and a young man slowly descends into madness when his wife and child mysteriously vanish during a vacation and just as suddenly reappear. Through these brilliantly imagined characters and stories, interwoven with haunting, playful, and revelatory meditations, Flights explores what it means to be a traveler, a wanderer, a body in motion not only through space but through time. Where are you from? Where are you coming in from? Where are you going? we call to the traveler. Enchanting, unsettling, and wholly original, Flights is a master storyteller's answer.
