Summary/Abstract: The map of Danilo Kiš’s literary concept of Central Europe has offered in his understanding the involvement of the magical realism. Although it does not belong to the universal body of the many critical representations of Central Europe which often varies, Kiš’s latent „sliding“ in the discourse of the magical realism offers another possible orientation and knowledge of this phenomenon. Below the mystification of the literary image of Central Europe are mismatched concepts that could open the view of the irrational, within which occurs a transition to the unconscious territories of Kiš’s work.
