Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes A.E. Baconsky’s novel, The Black Church, following the symbolic and oneiric elements of this antitotalitarian parable. The absence of meaning, the withdrawal of truth and other human values, a religion in the absence of the sacred, a metaphysics of life refusal, are only a few elements that make up the writer's vision in this novel. The result is a negative world where nothing resists erosion, where man is reduced to roles and truth becomes a heresy.
