The purpose of this paper is to analyse the role of transtextual relationships in Andras Cserna-Szabo’s short-story “Hazateres” (“The homecoming”). I argue that transtextuality is the main stylistic device in the text – it is used not only to construct the plot but also to describe the main character. Its omnipresence allows to interpret the text on different levels, according to the reader’s competence. Using the theory of cognitive blending (metaphoric amalgams), I try to reveal the function of doppelganger’s motif.
