Summary/Abstract: The paper is an intertextual analysis of the selected works of three Polish modernist authors: Roman Jaworski, Stefan Grabiński, and Bruno Schulz. The world of their fiction– all of them in one or another world were related to Galicia, the south-eastern part ofthe prewar Poland – shows significant affinities even though none of them was a realist.Their poetics was predominantly oneiric and fantastic, yet what connects their shortstories are representations of railroads, central squares of small Galician towns, andgardens. Schulz was no doubt the most outstanding of them all, yet it can be legitimatelyargued that, on the other hand, he belonged to a company that shared certain representationaldevices, rhetoric, and in some cases style.
