    The paper under review deals with the Dirichlet problem at the Martin boundary of a fine domain. A set \(U\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is said to be a \textit{fine domain} if it is open and connected in the Cartan fine topology in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), which is the coarsest topology in which all superharmonic functions are continuous. The authors investigate the Dirichlet problem at the Martin boundary of a fine domain \(U\) by adapting the Perron-Wiener-Brelot method. The obtained result covers also the classical case. One of the complications of the setting of the paper is the fact that there is no Harnack convergence theorem for finely superharmonic functions, which implies that the infimum of a sequence of upper Perron-Wiener-Brelot functions on \(U\) may be equal to \(-\infty\) on a nonvoid finely closed proper subset of the domain \(U\).
