Abstract

The article discusses the idea of creation coined by authors descended from the same, Austro-Hungarian cultural field, by: Bruno Schulz, Joseph Roth and Gustav Meyrink.

The authors, conscious of inefficiency of contemporary culture, used the idea of Demiurge to show one of possible creating ideas.
