Summary/Abstract: The presented text intends to present the protagonist of Bruno Schulz’s The Cinnamon Shops in relation to surrounding reality. The subject of the story, conceived as the author’s alter ego, is an intellectual nomad obliterating boundaries between the real world and the created one. According to the theory propounded by Rosi Braidotti his characteristic features include total independence and distrust of existing conventions. The protagonist’s ability to incessantly translocate himself, and his experiences of liminality are disclosed in an excess of stylistic measures and prove the author’s linguistic extravagance. The subject of the story is doomed to wander, a fact that he fully accepts by consenting to a world endlessly changing in front of the reader’s eyes.
