The article analyzes imagological parameters of the Jewish ethnoimage presented through the dimension of travel in the fiction of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Due to the intensification of national imagology in the past decades, the study of the Others’s existence is an actual scholarly issue. The representation of Jewry is traced by the example of three texts of different aesthetics and genres with the commonality of travel discourse: Istoriia odniieii podorozhi [The Story of One Journey] (1890) by Ahatanhel Krymskyi, Modest Levytskyi’s Porozhnim hodom [In Vain] (1918) and Shchastia Peisakha Leidermana [The Happiness of Peisakh Leiderman] (1918), and Mike Yohansen’s essay Podorozh liudyny pid kepom (Ievreiski kolonii) [The Journey of a Man in a Cap (Jewish Colonies)] (1927). According to the paper, the geopoetic component, that is the movement in space, seems to be a way of cultural, identical transformation, a shift in the experience of the characters and the reader: moving “inside” of the Jewish culture and the Jewish world in real and symbolically, everyone cognizes better the other culture, and simulthaneously His own. In Krymskyi’s story, the journey of Itsko the Jew and Skalskis the Ukrainians is denoted by the imagological inversion of ethnostereotypes: the figures of Ukrainians are depicted in a negative mode, while a Jewish image is positive. This confirms the dynamics of gradual decline from the stereotypical interpretation of the Others by writers. In the end, we get the image of Jew built-in a realistic axiological paradigm, whose personal tragedy is tangled by social prejudices. The “Doctor's Stories” by Modest Levitskyi against the backdrop of heavy Jewish life appeal to the universal context of human suffering. Penetrating into the other culture, the protagonist gradually undergoes a personal transformation and recognizes the Others more deeply. Mike Yohansen’s alter ego’s observation of colonial Jews’ life in the Southern Ukrainian regions reveal the spiritual and social proximity of the Ukrainian and Jewish peoples, their comfortable coexistence in a common geographical, linguistic, and economic space. The research originality lies in the fact that valuable in the imagological light texts of Ahatanhel Krymskyi, Modest Levytskyi and Mike Yohansen are considered as representing the Jewish ethnoimage from the position of homo viator. The perspective of the development of the topic is multidimensional study of the Jewish ethno-form in the unexplored segments of the national literary space.
