Summary/Abstract: The article offers a discussion of Europe’s space within contemporary migration novelists. It presents a dual vision of Europe’s image. If the immigration aspirant thinks it is a promise land with her great achievements, in the minds of those who manage to make it into her land, she is far from the home of success and self-fulfillment. Rather, the analysis inspires a continent where is paving way for the decay of social values. Our analysis shall follow a two way axis: the mirage construction end the deconstruction of paradise Europe.
