Gnostic themes appear in Miłosz’s work from early, catastrophic ‘Three winters’ (1935) to the last summa – ‘Theological Treatise’ (2002). Against this background his unfinished and deserted science-fiction novel ‘The Hills of Parnassus’, published only in 2012, seems to be worthwile. This article attempts to present that Gnosticism is the main source of dystopic creation of the novel. The Gnostic diagnosis in the unfinished novel is related to repeatedly expressed feeling of multi-dimensional alienation and loneliness of man and the pain and suffering which he feels in the alien world whose structure is embedded with evil and cruelty. On one hand the vision of ‘The Hills of Parnassus’ is a vision of an antimodernistic warning, on the other one – it is an extremely pessimistic, futuristic picture of recognition of “the rock-solid order of the world”.
