Summary/Abstract: This paper examines how the theme of transition and change is presented in the novel City, Sister, Silver written by the Czech writer Jáchym Topol. The analysis highlights some key points regarding the new social formations or neo-tribes that emerged immediately after the fall of communism, as well as the influence of the free market and the changes brought about by capitalism. Furthermore it brings to light the relation between the margin and centre as a specific theme for Central European space.
