Questions concerning God and creation are constants in the prosaic work of Péter Esterházy and constitute a topic which the author approaches mainly through the prism of an individual confronted with historical circumstance. This study is a reading of the novel „Egyszerü tȍrténet veszȍ száz oldal – a Márk változat (A Simple Story Comma One Hundred Pages – the Mark Version, 2014), which portraits the dark communist 1950´s in Hungary via paraphrasing of the gospel. The concern here is mainly with aspects of the textual expression of religious experience, which includes philosophical and phenomenological questions about the possibilities of articulation and expression of the individual testimony of faith. The analysis looks at perspectives as represented by the two main characters. The one represents silence as a true communicational space for the relationship with the transcendent; the other represents the alternative of a linguistic approach. The study approaches the historical circumstances of the narrative as a theodicy, i.e. as an attempt to understand the meaning of the passion story in the broader context of human history.

The study explores the occurrence of topographic indicators in the novel Zone Sinistra written by Ádám Bodor in 1992 and translated into several languages. The main focus lies on the post-magic structures which appear in Bodor’s texts. The author analyses the relationships between the magical realist features mentioned in the literature on Bodor and Bodor's mental repetition of the dominant Eastern orthodoxy in the region, as well as the way in which these elements function in the works of other authors of the younger generation – Zsolt Láng, György Dragomán, Sándor Zsigmond Papp and Gábor Vida.

Within the context of contemporary Hungarian historical narration Pál Závada´s literary production represents writing with pronounced views on the content of the subject matter as well as the narration issues of plausiblity of stories about history. The subject of the paper is the writer´s historical novel Prirodzené svetlo (Természetes fény/Natural Light, 2014), which experiments with bringing history into the present simultaneously through the medium of language/narration and that of an image/photographs. The paper analyses the relation between the text and the image (ekphrasis, „discovered“ photographs, illustration, narrativization, contradiction, missing photographs), the interconnections of medial switching/overlapping while placing the accent on perception (H. Belting, W. J. T. Mitchell), which are seen from the perspective of questions about the nature of historical representation raised by this literary work (authenticity of the resource materials of written history, ideology/stipulated structure of perception and recollection, non-convergent microhistorical narratives as a correction of collective historical memory , i.e. too little or too much history – P. Ricoeur).
