Quick Summary

Bene nati, meaning "Wellborn," is a novel by Eliza Orzeszkowa, a prominent Polish writer of the Positivist period. Published in 1892, the novel focuses on the impoverished gentry residing in small villages. Orzeszkowa's work often addressed social issues, including women's emancipation, the struggles of illegitimate children, and prostitution, which were considered bold for 19th-century Polish literature. She was known for her psychological insight and stylistic skill in depicting various social strata, from peasants to the gentry.12
