Summary/Abstract: The intertextual and intermedial aspects of the fantastic story The aim of the article is connecting different levels of intertextuality and intermediality in the story – for example: musical (H. Berlioz’s compositions incorporated in narration), legendary (legend about Golem from Prague, connected with Goethe’s Faust) and mythological intertext (woman as evil, the power of written words...), presented in the story and showing them as a new point of view in reception of contemporary fantastics, which is looking for an active reader who is capable of researching and understanding all levels of meaning, hiding deeply in almost hermetic structures of the text. Especially, it’s interesting that G. Tribuson takes Prague and it’s history as a motif of his fantastic narration.
