Abstract

The study analyzes the possibility of comparing the poetics of two writers – Daniela Hodrová and Svetlana VelmarJanković. The literary work of Czech and Serbian writer is mainly based on presenting the space of their hometown which they both do in a similar manner – by interweaving their personal memories with collective history. Contact points between the two authors are to be seen in their interest in buildings, monuments and other cultural city sights. Both writers reflect their hometown in themselves which could be read in their prose. The comparison of their interests and poetics could be conducted on Hodrová's trilogy symbolically named as The Tormented city (which contains the novels The Kingdom of Souls, Cocoons and Theta), supplemented with the book of essays I see the city, and Velmar-Janković's documentary prose Dorćol, Vračar and novel The Dungeon.
