Boleslav Prus

"The Doll" by Bolesław Prusa (real name Aleksander Glowacki) is a novel that explores social and moral problems in Poland during the 19th century.

The main character, Stanisław Wokulski, a rich merchant, falls in love with a beautiful aristocrat, Izabela Łęcka. Their story is complex, imbued with themes of love, class and human psychology.
