The novel "The Dance of Genghis-Chaim" consists of two parts: one of them describes with great humor how the spirit of a shot Jew inhabits the former SS Shatts and has been depriving him of rest and sleep for twenty years. And "it would all be funny if it wasn't so sad."

"The Germans had Schiller, Goethe, Gelderland, but the Simbas of the Congolese had nothing. The difference between the Germans, heirs to an immense culture, and the savage Simbas is that the Simbas ate their victims, whereas the Germans turned theiers into soap. This need for cleanliness, that is culture."

As Romain Gary himself said in an interview, with his novel he wanted to draw attention not so much to the Holocaust and the tragedy of the Jews, but to the fact that the vaccination against fascism and Nazism ceases to work, that the corrupt nymphomaniac Lilith is fully armed again. And it is in the allegorical second part of the novel that the full depth and horror of the problem raised by the author is revealed. You just need to put an equal sign between Florian = death and Lily = civilization, and the dialogues of this cute couple will terrify you with their frank truth. Half a century ago, the writer began to ring the bell that no matter how much humanity flirted with civilization and no matter what sacrifices it made, they would not satisfy it. The only outcome is death.

What would Romain Gary say today, when such "gifts" as murder for the sake of transplantation, propaganda of sex change (from childhood), and artificial intelligence and neural networks are presented to civilization as the icing on the cake. It's no longer timed to ring the bell, it's time to sound the alarm. Do you think it will be possible to pacify this? But no:

"You've already tasted it a thousand times, luv," says Florian with a trace of impatience. "I don't know what you can still be expecting from their, really. It didn't solve your problems, luv. Do remember, you were even more unhappy than before."

Is there a way out? And yet, yes! And this is what the author tells us again:

"And consciousness suggests a human being. Human� And I was very worried. God's limits are well known, they are not too great, but for man they are limitless, and he is capable of anything."

Will humanity choose this divine infinity based on awareness, responsibility and high spirituality, or will it eventually die with its pants down and a blissful smile on its lips? And humanity, it's not "them", somewhere far away, Humanity is "us" - you, me, he, she - here and now. Most of all, even "me", because a choice awaits everyone. And you only need to "look with your heart"! («C'est avec le cœur qu'[il] voit le mieux » (p. 270)

"In a world that is waiting for its own creation, anything is possible."
