Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article was to present the complex problem of a different kind of (im)possibilities in The Library by Zoran Zivkovic, and to reveal the mechanism of changing impossible (on physical and metaphysical basis) into possible by reffering to few philosophical theories and some cultural concepts. Presented paper focuses on interesting ways of showing the different approach to the symbolic meaning of the book and the library, also pointing to universalism of Zivkovic’s prose as the most important determinant of his poetics.
