Summary/Abstract: This article aims at presenting characteristic elements of the Bosniak cultural identity in their literature. Principal intention of the author here is to show the way in which literature represents, besides being a reflection of its authors subjective vision of the world, all that makes up the identity of a nation in its entirety. This phenomenon occurs as a result of a writer’s awareness of the knowledge that circulates within one culture. The article also illustrates the influence of cultural phenomenon such as humour, trauma, dreams, frustrations and desires expressed in authors’ images of himself and of others upon the literature of a nation. The interpretative method was used in the article.
