Within this text, we examine the traumatic narrative of emigration presented in Bulgarian and Croatian texts from the 1990s onwards. Whether it is the fate of an individual character or a family, social, ethnic, and/or religious community, the problems in the texts selected for observation are multifaceted and multi-layered. During the observations, limited to texts selected by us, we will identify the common neuralgic points in them and seek answers to several key questions: why and how the life of a human immigrant becomes a traumatic narrative when he leaves his homeland, whether the exile dies completely or only a part of him dies, what are the places he inhabits abroad, how does the time of the exile abroad pass - in emptiness, in nostalgia, in memories and waiting for return, is it possible to return home.
