The Doll by Boleslaw Prus

The Doll by Boleslaw Prus

The city of Warsaw, under Russian rule in the late 1870s, is the setting for this sweeping panorama of social conflict, political tensions and personal suffering. The middle-aged hero, Wokulski, is being destroyed by his obsessive love for the frigid, aristocratic society "doll" Izabela.

Boleslaw Prus was the pseudonum of Aleksander Glowacki (1847-1912), Poland’s prominent realist writer and essayist. His youthful experience of participating in the 1863 January Uprising against Tsarist rule is a constant presence in his work. Three of his other major novels – The Outpost, The Emancipated and Pharaoh – have also been translated into English.
