Summary/Abstract: Enclosure of the space and its demoniac materialisation, as contrary to the timelessness of spiritualization and humanization, are strongly reflected both on the frame and on the semantic layers of the central story. At the same time it suggests a free and an open reading process, which denies temporal definition of the story told and, at the same time, projects the space’s relative and flexible incorporation in the story. At this level, which is an important basis for contemporary critical perspective, we can talk about reactualization of certain contents and meanings of Andrić’s poetics and aesthetics, all the more for the fact that, naturally, they resist any attempt at a complete scientific decoding (as all the great accomplishment of human mind, principally, do).
