Summary/Abstract: The article is ispired by the pioneering book Allotopie by Krzysztof M. Maj, which describes the feeling of immersion in fictional world evoked by fantasy fiction. Maj chooses the immersion strategy of reception over the predominant mimetic interpretation, which he sees as incomplete in that it omits the fundamental for allotopy act of world creation. Immersion reflects the idiosyncrasy of creation and genre reception. Moreover, Maj’s book does not fail to address the traditional questions about the value of fantasy fiction.
