Nad Niemnem is a Positivist novel written by Eliza Orzeszkowa in 1888 during the foreign Partitions of Poland.

[2] The novel first appeared in installments on the pages of Tygodnik Ilustrowany in 1887 and was published as a book in 1888.

[4] First the author planned to limit the plot to a love story between Jan, a villager from the petty nobility, and Justyna, who comes from a wealthy landed gentry family.

However, while writing, the background relating to customs started to develop which made Orzeszkowa give up the original title: Misalliance.

From May 2024, an autograph copy of the novel is presented at a permanent exhibition in the Palace of the Commonwealth in Warsaw.
