The Doll, a Polish novel by Bolesław Prus first published in 1890, has recently gained renewed attention due to two new screen adaptations. Kirkus Reviews hailed it as "one of the greatest novels of the 19th century," praising its portrayal of Warsaw under Russian domination and its exploration of themes such as unrequited love, nationalism, class division, and socioeconomic shifts. The novel continues to resonate with contemporary readers for its enduring relevance.
