Eliza Orzeszkowa

Japanese: オジェシュコバ - おじぇしゅこば（英語表記）Eliza Orzeszkowa

1841‐1910
A representative Polish positivist novelist, she was also the first professional female writer in the history of Polish literature. She actively expressed the ideas of positivism in her works, such as in "The Widow Marta" (1873), which depicts the tragedy of a woman from a good family who is forced to become independent, and in "Meir Jezofowicz" (1878), which deals with the issue of Jewish assimilation. Her most famous work is the long novel "On the Banks of the Neman" (1887), a hymn to the working man that depicts Polish society in Lithuania after the January Uprising, and the beauty of its depiction of nature is comparable to that of Mickiewicz's "Pan Tadeusz" (1834).

ポーランド実証主義を代表する小説家。ポーランド文学史上初の職業的な女流作家でもある。自立をやむなくされた〈良家〉の女性を見舞った悲劇を描く《寡婦マルタ》(1873)では婦人解放問題を，《メイル･エゾフォビチ》(1878)ではユダヤ人同化問題を取り上げるなど，実証主義の主張を積極的に作品化した。代表作は一月蜂起後のリトアニアのポーランド社会を描く働く者への賛歌，長編《ネマンのほとり》(1887)で，その自然描写の美しさはミツキエビチの《パン･タデウシュ》(1834)に比せられる。
