Summary/Abstract: The article is a comparative analysis of three novels. They were all published in the interwar years and belong to a variety of the political-fiction genre. Key in this perspective are the images of new spaces/maps outlined in the prose under discussion. The authors - Hugo Betteuer, Artur Landsberger and Tadeusz Hollender - outlined in the plot structures a grotesque, ironic vision of a different social order encompassing communities.
