This paper analyzes the depiction of the space of the island on the example of three books by Andriana Škunca: Do neba bijelo (1969.), Kratka sjena podneva (1973.), Novaljski svjetlopis (1999.) by the following criteria: 1. whether the book depicts space or place, that is, whether it depicts individual landscapes and scenes without arousing the impression in the reader that the lyrical subject in some way relates to the space depicted; what is the emotional structure of space, that is, what emotions are related to space and to what extent; 2. the relationship between the mental and physical field - what is the physical relationship between the lyrical subject and space - whether the subject is part of space, or is separated from it and observes it from a distance; whether the lyrical subject is portrayed in the text as manifestly corporeal; 3. whether the lyrical subject is more subject-like or object-like - is it superior to space, which opens the space less to the reader for co-creation, or is it equal to other things presented in the text, which makes the text more open for co-creation; that is, whether it is authoritative or permissive toward potential reader interventions, and 4. whether there is a congruence of the space presented and the style in which the text is written. The methodological approach to the work arose from a theoretical framework based on the spatial turn of Henri Lefebvre.
