Artur Sandauer – literary critic, essayist, and translator – maintained that he read the manuscript of Mesjasz. According to his account the opening lines were as follows: ”you know – mother said to me in the morning. – The Messiah has come. He is already in Sambor”. Quite possibly this novel still exists somewhere – in the private collection of some egoistic maniac or in special services archives. Or perhaps it has never been written. There is nothing more to be added. The sentences remembered by Sandauer contain everything: conflict and drama, the Oedipal conflict and a universal social element, a post-Apocalypse, a provincial theme, an identity crisis, collapse and hope, the end of time, frenzy, faith, miracles, contradictions of human nature, fantasies and reality. They are even more excellent than Hemingway’s lines about baby shoes because we are dealing with a novel. One can say a lot, more and more, and yet say nothing. One can say a few words – and say more than everything.
