Abstract
The review presents a collective monograph entitled “Topos of the City in Synchrony and Diachrony: Literary Paradigm of Central and South-Eastern Europe”. The monograph is devoted to the functioning of the topos of the city and urban space in literary texts using examples of selected works of the 20th and 21st centuries that thematize the space of cities-“generators of culture” (Yu. Lotman): Moscow, Minsk, Kharkiv, Warsaw, Prague, Bratislava, Sarajevo, Sofia, Budapest, Bucharest, Paris, New Orleans, New York. The work significantly expands the understanding of urban issues and the features of the poetics of space in the literatures of Central and South-Eastern Europe, introduces new conceptually systematized literary material into scientific circulation. The monograph is distinguished by an interdisciplinary approach and the use of a relevant theoretical and conceptual apparatus, which places the topic of urban space in a modern scientific context and illuminates it from a variety of viewpoints.
