Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the issues of widely understood spaces and spatial objects which havesome associative/emotional potential. These objects appear in the two texts mentioned above. Among theseobjects the central place is the house as well as the cemetery. These spaces were described and divided in avery close connection with the house and they are as follows: 1. The house space, 2. The nearby house space,3. The outer/off space. The comparison of these two literary texts gives a contrastive image of the space andspatial objects typical for the two ethnic groups described in both texts.
