It tells the story of Theofil Pisarenko, a peasant in eastern Galicia (present-day Ukraine) as his life is impacted by nineteenth-century political upheavals and personal tragedies alike.An English translation by Harriet Liebér Cohen was published in 1891.

Greedy Jew | |
| The New Job / int_12dc4d97 | comment |
Greedy Jew: Most of the book's Jewish characters are presented in a negative light, including being greedy and exploitative. This is atypical for the author, who in real life (and in many of his other works) was a serious philo-Semite. | |

Diabolus ex Machina | |
| The New Job / int_1e1aa82a | comment |
Diabolus ex Machina: As befits a character called the "new Job," Theofil's life is marked by suffering and reversal. Some of these events, like his entire family dying of cholera, are foreshadowed. Others, like the plague of locusts or his mysterious illness late in the book, seem to come out of nowhere. | |

A Mythology Is True | |
| The New Job / int_26e685c0 | comment |
A Mythology Is True: Theofil's folk-Catholicism lends itself to actual manifestations of the supernatural. A vision leads him to Joadan in time to baptize her before she dies. (In a footnote, the author informs us that "Visions as well as presentiments are very common among the [Ukrainians].") Late in the book, Theofil has an extended spiritual experience... which also miraculously cures his blindness. | |

Out of Focus | |
| The New Job / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Theofil's little sister. She lives in the same household as Theofil for her entire life, but is mentioned rarely, and then only in passing. Lampshaded in her first appearance, which acknowledges that she grew up "with about as much attention bestowed upon her as upon the chickens, the calf, and the colt." | |

Maligned Mixed Marriage | |
| The New Job / int_661d7909 | comment |
Maligned Mixed Marriage: Christian gentile Theofil falls in love with Jewish girl Joadan. Among his people, it causes no worse than raised eyebrows, especially since he manages to convert her to Christianity. Her family and community have a more violent reaction. | |

Author Appeal: It's not a huge part of the story, but one or two whip-wielding aristocratic women do turn up over the course of the book. | |

House Fey: When Theofil starts coming home at night to find his housework done, he suspects he's been visited by an angel. It's actually being done by an orphan who stole food from him when she was starving and wants to pay him back. | |
