Abstract:

The article examines the novel by Olga Tokarczuk “Primeval and other times” through the labels of time in the text. Cyclicals is the main sign of time, but the eternal recurrence of events and the stagnation of natural phenomena mean the equivalence between the idea of time and timelessness. In parallel, the novel draws a realistic and fantastic line, prototypical images and unusual characters with the technique of building and destructing time.
