In this study the foreign images in two literary works written in German have been analyzed in the respects of comparative literature and descriptive method. The foreign image is a subject that is discussed in several fields of foreign languages and cultures as well as comparative literature. Image, stereotype, and prejudice are close but different notions. In the study, differences between these notions have been determined and foreign images in the two works have been comparatively analyzed by the help of disciplines focusing on images. Images that are described explicitly and implicitly have been examined under the titles of direct images and indirect images, respectively.In this comparative study, development and reflection of foreign image in Barbara Frischmuth?s ?Das Verschwinden Des Schattens In Der Sonne? and Emine Sevgi Özdamar?s ?Seltsame Sterne Starren Zur Erde? have been analyzed. Thus, imagology is a cultural field that needed to be held through different disciplines
