The author's point of departure is the observation that both Andrić and Kiš use historical documents in the process of their writing, although they achieve that in different ways. This difference is ...examined in the context of a monumental challenge to which both authors had to respond, i.e., the dominance of information over the story. The poetological reaction to this challenge is different for each author, but a certain position is common to both of them: they both differentiate between the officially accepted history, which they equate with fiction, and non-accepted knowledge about the past. They believe that literature has the power to gather elements of this non-accepted knowledge about the past and confront the official history with them.
Pesnik, pripovednik, dramatik in esejist Momčilo Nastasijević (1894-1938) spada med najizvirnejše ustvarjalce srbske književnosti med vojnama. Njegov opus je žanrsko zelo razvejan in neposredno ...povezan z njegovo poetiko, vendar prihaja z njo večkrat v nasprotje. V filozofskih esejih išče svojo umetniško pot in skuša obenem odgovoriti na ključna metafizična vprašanja. Članek skuša prikazati Nastasijevića kot originalnega pesnika metafizika ne glede na njegove poglede o jeziku in književnosti, ki jih je prikazoval v svojih esejih.
