In the recent years one of the major contributions to the distinction between fiction and real world has been provided by thetheory and semantics of possible worlds, whose bases is the idea that reality is a universe composed of a plurality of distinct worlds. Awriter of fiction usually “draws” his material from the reality, from the models and the entities provided by the actual world, realisticfiction, in particular, depends on “mimetic communication to create possible worlds. This paper deals with two novels that treat the sametopic (“the transformation of the society and of the human being under the communist dictatorship”) but with an enormous difference,Orwell based his book almost entirely on his fictitious reality and imagination whereas Trebeshina has experienced the regime and itsreality. Many scholars and critics have tried to find similarities between Orwell’s and Trebeshina’s vision of reality and even in their lifeexperiences. This paper deals with the construction of fiction, reality, the role of history and the similarities and differences presented onTrebeshina’s Odin Mondvalsen and Orwell’s 1984.
