Summary/Abstract: Starting from some special narratives in contemporary Polish and French literature, especially from the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the present paper intends to be a generalising attempt to demonstrate a certain way of understanding the literary space which functions in a contemporary text. This space which is capable of metamorphosing as it is created by the consciousness of the narrator can neither be measured nor described with the tools specific for the Euclidean space.
