Description
We invite all to a book discussion! In July, we will be reading The Doll (Lalka) by Boleslaw Prus, a classic of 19th century Polish literature.
Prus depicts Polish life in Warsaw in the late 19th century, ecompassing all classes of society. Our hero, Stanislaw Wokulski, is a merchant who, for the love of an upper-class woman, has taken risks to enhance his fortune and bestow his generosity on the poor souls he meets in the slums of Warsaw. He has a midlife crisis of sorts and wants to be a better man and leave his mark on the world; he convinces himself that the best way to do this is to marry a highborn woman, Izabela Lecka.
