Primeval and Other Times (Polish: Prawiek i inne czasy) is a fragmentary novel by Olga Tokarczuk, published by Wydawnictwo W.A.B.

It is set in the fictitious village of Prawiek (Primeval) at the very heart of Poland, which is populated by some eccentric, archetypical characters.

Tokarczuk rejected the idea that characters in the book could be linked to real inhabitants of Zagrody, and criticised journalists who attempted to do in the late 1990s.

Dariusz Nowacki [pl] criticized Tokarczuk's prose as being conformist and having a quality more typical of the entertainment industry.

[16] A stage adaptation of Prawiek i inne czasy, performed by Białostockie Towarzystwo Wierszalin, directed by Sebastian Majewski [pl], premiered in 1997[17][18]
