Abstract

The article analyzes the individual spatio-temporal model of life as a set of various realities of artistic reality, presented in the work “Biguny” ("Runners") by modern Polish writer Olga Tokarchuk, Nobel Prize winner. It is emphasized that Olha Tokarchuk considers the philosophy of traveling as a means of world knowledge through the prism of "going beyond". It is found out that the characters while traveling model the world in some way: they fill it with personal meanings based on their worldview; at the same time metaphysical and geographical spaces conceptually transform their image. Reality undergoes transformations as well: authenticity is replaced by artificiality, and artificiality creates artificiality. Olha Tokarchuk persuades the reader that the world is transformative, flexible, and created by imagination, and it looks like a coordinate system of various ideas. You can look at things from different perspectives, and in order to understand the world, you must first understand a man.
