This paper consists of two parts: the first discusses problems of periodisation in Krúdy's oeuvre, whereas the second part attempts to present a sketch of the style of his last period on the basis of its characteristic stylistic properties. As the author points out, the main features of that period are as follows: (a) a distinguished role of figurative language: similes, metaphors, a correlation of recurring images and topics; (b) cumulation (the use of coordinated constituents) as a decisive strategy of sentence construction; (c) combination of present and past within the same stretch of text; and (d) irony.
