Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to give the recipient detailed and comprehensive analysis of Đilas’ novels Land Without Justice and Montenegro, using the latest theoretical and critical methods in the field of narratology, phenomenology and semiology. The analytical sublimate of Đilas’ novelistic prose is based on the incorporation of the structural elements such as: the narrative situation, the organizational norms of the temporal and spatial categories, the compositional determinants and pattern system for creating characters in Đilas’ novels, but as well as on their interaction and interference on the meta-textual plane which is established between these novels. The chronological order of the narrative structure of these novels is subsequently established, hence the narrator, the dismissal of the time categories (past, present and future tense), interprets through the different stories in the temporal paradigm which present alternatively dismissal of time anachronism (analepsi, prolepsis, ellipses) that at the level of the narrative text establishes the complex temporal pattern.
