Boleslaw Prus , whose actual name was Aleksander Glowacki, was a Polish journalist and novelist known especially for his novels The Doll and Pharaoh. He is considered as the leading representative of realism in 19th-century Polish literature and one of the distinctive voices in world literature.
Of his novels, perennial favorites with readers are The Doll and Pharaoh. The Doll describes the romantic infatuation of a man of action who is frustrated by the backwardness of his society. Pharaoh, Prus' only historical novel, is a study of political power, set in ancient Egypt at the fall of its 20th Dynasty and thus of the New Kingdom.
