Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the organization of the temporal plane in Boris Pekić’s novel The Pilgrimage of Arsenije Njegovan. For the purposes of this study, we relied on Gérard Genette’s stances relating to interpretations of time from the viewpoint of particular categories. Arguing that every narrative is a double temporal sequence, Genette gives prominence to the categories of duration, order and frequency, by means of which he interprets the specified temporality.
