Abstract

»Can history be objective« and if, what is then the connection between historiography and fiction, since the former originates in the latter. What status did fiction have in this relationship. By showing some crucial traits of this relationship the author wants to stress the views of those who claim that history is devoid of interpretation, thence of that what makes a story universal, and is only a residuum of the past. It is only a dry protocol or a transcript of time, people and events on which it reports.
