The present text on the one hand traces the strategies by which in Yovkov's novel The Farm by the Frontier the "subjection" and the "conciliation" of different thematic and generic frontiers are accomplished. On the other hand, considered here are the ways by which the two codes function in the novel - that of the biblical and that of the secular (seen as a specific synthesis of melodramatic-sentimental, social and philosophical-psychological principles). Last but not least, the paper is in search of the reasons why The Farm by the Frontier "blows up" the "typical Yovkov" notion existing in the field of literary criticism.
