Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on how exile is presented in three novels by the Portuguese author Ilse Losa (1913-2006): The World I Lived in (1949), River without a Bridge (1952), and Under Strange Skies (1962). Through the application of the transdisciplinary method while examining the subject matter of migration and exile, the article, on the one hand, utilizes some theoretical contributions to postcolonial studies and finds its place within the present-day discussion about the ethical and multicultural challenges that modern society faces, and on the other examines the way Ilse Losa’s novelistic narratives construct the image of exile and how the exiles understand their own identity.
