AGATOTROPIC HORMONE by Stanislaw Lem

Making allusions to the titular substance of his later novel The Futurological Congress in 1971, this story explores the diary of an 18th-century Portuguese traveler through the eyes of the American Secretary of State as he awaits the start of a conference. The story's structure was obviously inspired by the classic 1805 novel The Manuscript Found at Saragossa by Jan Potocki, a fellow Polish author. Originally published in a collection of the author's stories entitled Sesame and Other Stories in 1954, which was reproduced the following year simply as Sesame. The story's structure was quite obviously inspired by the classic 1805 novel The Manuscript Found at Saragossa by Jan Potocki, a fellow Polish author.
