Billy and Saxon are a couple who, like all of us, strive to discover their own Eden.
Trapped in the industrial ghetto of the inhumane metropolis and pursued by the nightmare of unemployment and uncertain wages, they will experience social injustice, the callousness of bosses, and find themselves in the midst of the strikes and mobilizations of the newborn labor movement.
In this great lyrical novel, where the two heroes return to nature to find the ideal resting place, the natural life is praised, human dignity is upheld, and capitalist exploitation is denounced.
