W kręgu dwudziestowiecznej dystopii. O czytaniu powieści {Otok Snova} Damira Miloša
In the circle of the 20th century dystopia. About reading the novel {Otok snova} by Damir Miloš

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to show the novel {Otok snova} ({Islands of Dreams}, 1996) by Damir Miloš as an example of a dystopian text. The author portrays the presented world of the book, first, as a postmodern consumer space where the pursuit of attractions is a dominant human activity, second, she presents the same picture through the prism of hyperbolic deformation. In the novel the original idyll takes the contours of hell, as she suggests. However, the reflection does not finish in a defeatist way. The author indicates a possibility of transition from dystopia to micro-utopia, but only in the case of reading the novel in the context of other works written by Damir Miloš.
