Summary/Abstract: In Leo Lipski’s "Niespokojni" we can find scenes surprisingly similar to the motifs present in his later short story "Dzień i noc", written in a labour camp. The text did not exist when Lipski finished "Niespokojni" and was to be written a few years later. The article asks how prefigurations, ”ghosts” of the motifs from the later text could be found in the earlier novel and how they introduce the atmosphere of latent dread to the reality of the late 1930s shown in "Niespokojni".
