Străveacul şi alte vremi este considerată cea mai reuşită carte a scriitoarei poloneze. Olga Tokarczuk construieşte o vastă alegorie despre forţa distructivă a timpului, povestind optzeci de ani din viaţa locuitorilor unui sat mitic. Sensul său profund este reprezentat de modul în care omul se poate plasa în istorie pentru a se redescoperi. Îmbinînd realismul cu magicul, ignorînd aspectele (post)moderne ale unei societăţi, scriitoarea reuşeşte să dea romanului său o dimensiune universală.

Tama is just a helpless chick when he is rescued by Marnie, and this is where his story might have ended. “If it keeps me awake,” says Marnie's husband Rob, a farmer, “I'll have to wring its neck.” But with Tama come new possibilities for the couple's future. Tama can speak, and his fame is growing. Outside, in the pines, his father warns him of the wickedness wrought by humans. Indoors, Marnie confides in him about her violent marriage. The more Tama sees, the more the animal and the human worlds—and all the precarity, darkness and hope within them—bleed into one another.
