In his essays, the author refers to the historical phenomenon of Frankism and the writings of Jakub Frank, but the main goal is to show the divisive potential of the creation of writers and poets. The heroes of this book, although rooted in the Polish language and culture, do not feel entirely comfortable in it. They remain divided in themselves, mismatched, alienated, but at the same time permanently attached to what is Polish. It is this inner contradiction that becomes the engine of their creation.
