Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of the Drohobych topos of the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries in the novel by Stanislav Müller «Henryk Flis». It has been revealed a good few of allusions to specifi c individuals, owners of the oilfi elds, participants in legal trials and representatives of the provincial urban elite, to specifi c streets, individual buildings, and iconic loci for each social stratum of town dwellers. It has been proved that anti-urban topos of Drohobych was created on account of its external and internal spatial localization and unattractive picture of urban life in all aspects due to a detailed description of the main elements of building, social and transport infrastructure, elements of the urban landscape, depicting the private and public life of its inhabitants.
