摘要：AbstractSpace and time, their expansions and/or their limitations, have been intriguing people for millennia. Issues relative to the character of space and time have indeed been central to philosophy from its inception. In literary investigations these concepts have been always vibrating at the edges of imagination. The writer uses an instrument to achieve an always closer approach to concrete reality. The importance of setting focuses on space as a cultural code of literature. In this way the identity of many individuals and communities are structured based on different spaces in a complex range of imaginary patterns of representation. This matter helps the reader focus deeply on the issue and reconceptualize the space in his/her mind. When speaking about spaces of intertextuality we have in mind the play and interference of heterogeneous semiotic spaces transposed in the text from elsewhere, either from other spatial representations (textual or visual worlds) or by evoking culturally characteristic locations. This article focusing on all vicissitudes of space and place in literature tries to review the voluptuousness of high places in fiction.
