Summary/Abstract: Literature has always been a way of translating socio-anthropological and cultural fingerprints of man in relation to its environment. Time and space are playable in realistic canon or coded, and insert characters in time and space is marking them strongly, articulating the identity, and possibly change it, especially at the level of the inner life. In his trilogy, the Croatian writer Miroslav Krleža (1893-1981), composed by the novles The Return of Philip Latinowicz (1932), On the Edge of Reason (1938), The Banquet in Blitva (1939), the characters themselves shape themselves, recomposing themeselves depending to at least two spaces: in the first novel, regaining the authenticity by turning in Dalmatia after the Western artistic experiences; in the second novel - space prison and leaving in Italy from his homeland rebuild itself after the relinquishment of the mask, the interior plan success, but failure in socially because others remain the same; in the third – Blitva and Blatva are countries in mirror, and the shelter in the second country is a failure.
