Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the re mythlogized text within the poetic oeuvre of Borislav Pekic which is defined as metaphysical and meta-fictional. Searching for the essence of humanity, the man's mission and position within the universe, Pekić begins the novel at the level that divides the mythological and historical / scientific system of thought, ideas and knowledge, analytically refueling knowable and intuitive sense, the point of separation of circular and linear design sense and the text, and projected through the metaphor of the global history of the species. His visit is aimed at achieving universal synthesis, which indicates the connection of the history, present and future in a vertical, and then in the timeless (universal) penetration of the myth as arch essence of the human history.
