Keywords: Literature; language; critical schools; fiction.

Summary/Abstract: The study attempts to demonstrate that literature is far more than language. The influence of linguistics has produced a semantic fundamentalism in critical schools. The author of the study distances herself from this position towards literature. At the same time, she opposes a mystique of the book and emphasizes the inbornness between man and story. The study questions the nature of fiction and non-fiction in order to relate them to the reality of the mind. The story told through fiction can be closer to the truth than the univocal nudity of non-fiction, by its ability to retain the plurality of meanings and the interrogating core of human realities. Therefore, rediscovering literature as a guiding story to knowledge may be a way to a new relationship of today's reader with literature.
