The paper is based on the current conception of reception of the debut novel written by Dušan Kraus (1937 – 2001) Životy unikajúce/Lives Fleeing (1979). There is genealogical and typological perspective and a literary historical perspective adopted in it, the paper offers an outline reconstruction of the literary career of a lesser-known writer. The subject of the analysis is the basic semantic layers of the work (language, narration, composition) and its genealogical and typological foundations. Within the context of prose written at that time, the novel is a specific piece of writing placed outside the established development lines. It is incompatible with what was introduced by the „novel situation“ at the turn of the 1980s, it is a work of production prose, while it is not influenced by ideological requirements, it is a contemporary piece of prose which was published at the time when Slovak literature was being dominated by past-bound works. Životy unikajúce/Lives Fleeing as a production or, alternatively, „work“ novel is an unusual variant of the subgenre in Slovak literature. In terms of evolution, it is situated somewhere halfway from the ideologically biased depiction of the work environment in the 1950s towards subversive recoding of the subject matter in the second half of the 1980s (in the works of the writers such as Peter Pišťanek and Dušan Taragel).

The paper is a reconstruction of how the meaning of the concept “magic realism” transformed in Slovak literary practice and reflection from the end of the World War II to the early 1990s. The meaning of magic realism as defined in contemporary literary theory is not quite identical to every use of the expression in domestic reflection on literature. It was flexibly used by Jozef Felix as early as 1946 when discussing contemporary prose as a counterpart of the lyric tendencies, which he criticized. Magic realism returned to Slovak literature as denomination of one of the components of complex modern Latin American prose, i.e. the corpus of works of Latin American provenance which became popular in Europe during the 1960s. The comeback of the term was preceded by the reception of the most significant works by Latin American prose writers (Carpentier, Asturias, Cortázar, Fuentes, García Márquez...), which were becoming more accessible in Czech and Slovak translations at the turn of the 1960s. In the early 1980s the term was partly used by literary criticism in the context of Peter Jaroš’s novel Tisícročná včela (A Thousand-year-old Bee) and its relations to the work of Gabriel García Márquez. Until 1989 wider use of the term was limited by the ideology of the period, according to which magic realism could endanger the position of socialist realism as the official literary doctrine of the time.

The article takes a look at the representations of Bratislava in Dušan Kraus’s debut novel Životy unikajúce [Lives Leaking; 1979]. It reconstructs the methods that model the city and its image in the context of other portrayals of the urban setting in Slovak prose (Ladislav Ballek: Pomocník [The helper]; Agáty [The locust trees]; Stanislav Rakús: Temporálne poznámky [Temporal notes]). The novel does not name the city in which it takes place, but from the names of locations and the typical spatial arrangements it pertains that the text is set in Bratislava. The differentiation of the spatial structure is complementary with the division of space into the private and public spheres. Social life functions (work and amusement) are situated in the centre while private lives unwind in the new housing estates at the outskirts of the city. Kraus portrayed Bratislava of the normalisation era in line with its period character, i.e. as urbs, but not as civitas (Olivier Mongin: The Urban Condition) – as a city without a public space. The novel works with two semantic layers. The narrative is of factual or even official record character, the symbolic generalisation rests on the double meaning of the title that evokes both a gas leak and the movement of its victims from life to death as well as the city as a fluid, unstable entity where life “leaks” from its inhabitants.

The paper Vladimír Petrík´s library is an attempt at „reading“ of a library from the perspective of the relation between the library and the owner. The inheritance left by literary scientist and critic Vladimír Petrík includes over 6000 books, which were accumulated and used by him during his life. Understanding the type, genre, functional and time structures of his library, i.e. the relations between the volumes accumulated in it, enables complementing the already well-known bibliographic profile of the owner, looking at his personality through this kind of specific cultural memory, which library is, understanding oscillation between professional orientation and reading as a personal interest, which becomes a necessity. The analysis of Vladimír Petrík´s library leads to the conclusion that although he was a „man of books“, he was not fetishist about them. They served his main interest, which was literature.
