Faraon
Faraon is the fourth and last major novel by the Polish writer Boles aw Prus (1847-1912). Composed over a year in 1894-95, it was the sole historical novel by an author who had earlier disapproved of historical novels on the ground that they inevitably distort history. Pharaoh has been described by Czes aw Mi osz as a "novel on... mechanism[s] of state power and, as such, ... probably unique in world literature of the nineteenth century.... Prus, [in] selecting the reign of 'Pharaoh Ramses XIII' in the eleventh century BCE, sought a perspective that was detached from... pressures of [topicality] and censorship. Through his analysis of the dynamics of an ancient Egyptian society, he... suggest[s] an archetype of the struggle for power that goes on within any state.""

Placowka
Placowka was the first of four major novels by the Polish writer Boles aw Prus. The author, writing in a Poland that had been partitioned a century earlier by Russia, Prussia and Austria, sought to bring attention to the plight of rural Poland, which had to contend with poverty, ignorance, neglect by the country's upper crust, and colonization by German settlers backed by Otto von Bismarck's German government."
Lalka
The Doll (Polish title: Lalka) is the second of four major novels by the Polish writer Boles aw Prus (real name Aleksander G owacki). It was composed for periodical serialization in 1887-89 and appeared in book form in 1890. The Doll has been regarded by some, including Nobel laureate Czes aw Mi osz, 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 ecka.
