The leading Polish writer of the period, Bolesław Prus, hailed Spencer as " the Aristotle of the nineteenth century " and adopted Spencer's metaphor of society-as-organism, giving it a striking poetic presentation in his 1884 micro-story, " Mold of the Earth ", and highlighting the concept in the introduction to his most universal novel, Pharaoh ( 1895 ).
