The Doll (Polish:
Lalka ) is the second of four acclaimed novels by the Polish writer
Bolesław Prus (real name
Aleksander Głowacki).
It was composed for periodical serialization in 1887–1889 and appeared in book form in 1890.
The Doll has been regarded by some, including Nobel laureate Czesław Miłosz, as the greatest Polish novel.
According to Prus biographer Zygmunt Szweykowski, it may be unique in 19th-century world literature as a comprehensive, compelling picture of an entire society. While The Doll takes its fortuitous title from a minor episode involving a stolen toy, readers commonly assume that it refers to the principal female character, the young aristocrat Izabela Łęcka. Prus had originally intended to name the book Three Generations. The Doll has been translated into twenty-eight languages, and has been produced in several film versions and as a television miniseries.
