The present study discusses the issue of a relationship between the fictional world of a prose narrative and the real topography of Prague. The main aim of the paper is to point out the difficulties springing from making uncritical connections between fictional entities and real objects or places, which happens not just during casual reading, whose equivalent in literary theory is Umberto Eco’s term “empirical author,” but also in certain strands of literary criticism, influenced mainly by positivism and psychologism. In the specific analysis of Jakub Arbes’s romanetto Saint Xaverius, the present author’s ambition is not to manifest programmatically the autonomy of fiction, but rather to undertake a critical reading that should lead to an understanding of this dichotomy as an issue of the modality of fiction.
