Boleslaw Prus and the Jews shows the complexity of the so-called
"Jewish question" in nineteenth-century Congress Poland and
especially its significance in Prus' social concept reflected in
his extensive body of journalistic work, fiction, and treatises.
The book traces Prus' evolving worldview toward Jews, from his
support of the Assimilation Program in his early years to his
eventual support of Zionism. These contrasting ideas show us the
complexity of the discourse on Jewish issues from the individual
perspective of a significant writer of the time, as well as the
dynamics of the Jewish modernization process in a "non-existent"
partitioned Poland. The portrait of Prus that emerges is
surprisingly ambivalent.
