Summary/Abstract: Trying not to overemphasize traditional principles of a comparative interpretation (with influence as the main category of the reflection of two literary texts) the paper primarily stresses the importance of poetic similarity of Danilo Kiš and Miroslav Krleža – the one which is not a consequence of only a chronological phenomena in the Yugoslav cultural space, but also the setting of the Central European literary orientation and its cosmopolitan intellectualism. This actually turned out to be characteristic of an entire poetic paradigm of modernism in the 20th century. In relation to that, the choice of totality of childhood as a primary topic of research of prose segments of Childhood in Agram 1902­1903 and Garden, ashes contributed to a more detailed insight into the possibilities of a strict intertextual connection of the two authors in addition to all other factors of their complementary extratextual – ideological and other – attitudes.
