Set in the Valencian huerta, it narrates the arrival of Batiste Borrull and his family at a cursed barraca that no one dares to cultivate. Despite the neighbours' rejection, the farmer tries to make his land prosper while the memory of a crime turns his efforts into tragic conflict. A portrait of rural misery and the struggle between peasants and landowners.

Common reading in secondary school; serves as a gateway to the Spanish naturalist novel of the late 19th century.
