Summary/Abstract: The Time of the Consuls by Ivo Andrić is based on specific sources and has the following features: reduced time-place framework, chronicle format of narration, primary function of characters rather than plot, polycentric narrative structure, the metaphor of travel/roads as a unifying factor. The varying relationship between perceptions of two worlds - one identified with «self», the other with «alien» - provides a principle for the analysis of the typology of the «Other». Four basic types have been identified: (1) two clearly distinct worlds between with a temporary contact, which emphasises the distinction between them (basic imagological type); (2) two worlds built into the definition of «self» producing a «third world» positioned between «self» and «alien»; (3) two worlds in parallel position lacking essential communication. These three types are articulated in reality and transferred into the realm of narration (fiction). The fourth type of «Other» is created in the narrative structure itself, questioning the relationship between reality and image of reality (fiction).
