Abhorrent Admirer: Quite a few examples.No relation to the 1919 Lubitsch film or the 2017 horror film. It has entered public domain and may be read in its original Polish here.
First serialized in the newspaper "Kurier Codzienny" (29th September 1887 - 24th May 1889), then published in a book form by Gebethner i Wolff in 1890, it's the story of a Self-Made Man Stanisław Wokulski trying to win the love of an aristocrat Izabela Łęcka, at the same time working out who he actually is and what he actually wants, which is anything but simple.īeing full of social criticism, subtle philosophical arguments (on behalf of positivism) and dickensian episodes, beautifully written, no wonder it became required reading in secondary schools.
Lalka translation the/a doll by Bolesław Prus (the pen name of Aleksander Głowacki) is regarded by some as the best novel ever written in Polish.
