Prologue

I shall not tell you my name. My name and identity are not important for this story. For a many years I have one manuscript, a kind of diary, written by an anonymous author, unsigned and undated. Visual contact proves that script is very old. I think that a writer was a foreigner, some immigrant. His writing is full of grammatical irregularity, a confused text. Until today I was not willing to publish that journal. The story is so unusual, inexplicable, mystical and wrapped in a cloak of mystery. And, it is so horrible that I was scarred to death while reading. Now, my decision is to reveal a secret to the reading public. A decisive event to do it is something I'll not tell you about. Before you start to read the story I have to warn you that it can makes a nervous tension. Count Ivan Munk was sitting in his comfortable armchair, smoking . Thought about life came through his head: " Nobody really wants to be able to see into his own future. Each of us has quite enough of today's joys and trouble to think about. But it would be an advantage, wouldn't it, if one could know in general what kind of life he would be leading in ten or twenty years? Most of us will be doing quite simple,useful things, the kinds of work and play that make life sturdy and satisfying and worthwhile." Watching his books in the bookcase, he became absorbed in crazy thoughts: "How many times during the last forty-eight hours have you had occasion to do some sorting? Have you sorted out the contents of your pockets, your purse, your desk, your bureau drawer, your tool chest, your sewing basket? Do you do any sorting when you finish an evening chore by putting away dishes and silverware? What is the reason back of all of this sorting that people commonly do? Why does a card player sort his cards? What is the purpose of a filing system or a card index? Whenever you sort things, putting them into groups or classifications, you are doing a very important and fundamental kind of thinking. Sometimes sorting is a very simple matter like putting handkerchiefs, socks or stockings, neckties or belts into separate compartments of a bureau drawer. It is a more complex process when you plan a well balanced meal, selecting the protein, carbohydrate, and mineral elements in proper proportions and giving judicious consideration to the vitamins contained in various kinds of foods." If he could knew that thoughts about sorting will change his life, he wouldn’t even think to have thoughts about such a crazy matter.
