Кукла. В двух томах. Том 2

The socio-psychological novel The Doll is one of the most significant works of the Polish writer Bolesław Prus (1847-1912), which vividly reflects the life of various sections of Polish society in the 19th century, from aristocratic salons to the Warsaw outskirts.
The central place in the novel is occupied by the fate of an outstanding man, who succeeded in life - from the owner of a small shop, he turned into a major financier, an international entrepreneur. But the passionate love for the beautiful aristocrat, who turned out to be a soulless "doll", brought him deep disappointment and led to the tragic end of his fate.
