Motifs of smells appear to be essential as the far as the structure of the world presented in the works by Dmitry Merezhkovsky is concerned. The writer makes many attempts to define the general features of smells, the way they influence man and the relationship between information being transmitted by means of aromas and the cultural context of transmission. There are two discernible and opposite groups of smells in the works by Merezhkovsky. One of them consists of pleasant olfactory impressions, indicating indirectly the meaning of life and bloom, whereas the other group contains nasty smell impressions connected with death and decay. Motifs of smells perform mnemonic and indentyfying functions in the structure of works being analyzed. Apart from analytically reconstructed principles of immanent poetics of smells, we can come across essays and feature writings with directly worded category of smell transmitting metaphorical senses, typical for concepts of religion, interpretation of Gospel, the style of culture and historiosophy, being fostered by Merezhkovsky. That group of judgements makes apeculiarly formulated poetics of smells. Both systems of poetics of smells reveal close connections with one another.

Nostalgia for the past became apopular phenomenon after the break-up of Yugoslavia. It left a significant mark on the modern Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian autobiographical prose. In literary returns to childhood and adolescence the reader’s attention is attracted by writers’ affection to specific places, material things, family memorabilia, photographs, albums. This is the nature of the works of Croatian writer Pavao Pavličić who in his texts reconstructs the past and the world destroyed by war. This is the way the return to his home town Vukovar is possible — to Vukovar which exists only in the memory of the author. Vukovar has become aspatial theme in Pavličić’s works which connects the books like Dunav, Šapudl, Kruh imast, Vodič po Vukovaru and Kako preživjeti mladost in aseries known as the Vukovar series. Also the smells and tastes became for Pavličić an inspiration for anostalgic journey into the past. Their descriptions can be found in all parts of the series, but they are most important in the book Kruh imast, which in terms of content and construction resembles arestaurant menu. It is not just the writer’s family menu, but it may represent the entire city and indeed the second Yugoslavia. Thanks to descriptions of smells and tastes most personal experiences are back. These sensory impressions enabled the writer to find his place in the world and to redefine his identity.
