Abstract: In her novel, Meir Ezofowicz, the author provides an insight into the social and culturalreality of a Jewish borderland town in the second half of the 19th century. The fourJewish families featured in the novel come from diverse cultural, socio-economic, andreligious backgrounds. The linguistic images created by Orzeszkowa reflect the stereotypicalperception of reality, and, at the same time, condemn all anti-social behaviour,including that observed within the Jewish diaspora community.
