Abstracts

Kairos and its manifestations appeared gradually in Slovak literature. Beginning with the middle ages they started entering into the context with Christian vertical and horizontal perception of reality. In his works, J.C. Hronský claims continuity with the medieval philosophical and theological understanding of man, who experiences a deep connection with God and his personality is augmented by the spiritual transformation of inner attitudes. Adequately, the author takes hold of spirituality and mysticism by gently entering the inner life of the characters, by use of communicatively productive aposiopesis and by specific work with symbols. This problem is not new. However, the literary scholarship has so far dealt with the mystical aspect only marginally.
