Sloboda´s last novel published during his life is - even in the context of his work in the 1990s - a specific type of autobiographical narration. Besides the non-suyzhet, composition-free narration, Sloboda makes frequent use of meaning parallelism in his text, which subsequently brings about supplemental, metaleptic character of narration. The potential of the causal story-driven narration is loosened by the writer in order to install more and more association segments featuring a great proportion of illustrative and ornamental potency. It happens unintentionally, and, as a result, the text proves within itself and for itself the connection between self-presenting narration and the selective (as well as melancholic) work of memory.

The study is aimed at the analysis of the particular expressive qualities (semiotically linked with linguistic and thematic elements) of Miguel de Unamuno’s “Mist” and their function and validity in literary communication. The style-oriented research enables the identification of differences as well as cooperation between discursive and presentational modes in Unamuno’s essays and fiction. Several aspects of genre were considered and Unamuno’s method of creating personae was taken into account in order to explicate the indexical, metonymical relationship between Tragic Sense of Life in Men and in Peoples and Mist. It is not only Unamuno’s thought that guides his fiction but also his narrative production and aesthetics of paradoxes and contradictions that contextualizes his philosophy. The works of Miguel de Unamuno show that the area between philosophy and literature can be characterized by increased semiotic activity. In the circumstances, the function of metalepsis as a means of open extradiegetic communication between the author, literary characters and the reader and as a representation of the agonistic principle of perception of the world and reality is highlighted.

The study aims to approach the idyllic within the context of realistic representation not as a category represented by strictly specified group of idyllic means of expression but rather a stylistic layer in which variability of expression plays a major role. The study focuses on particular examples of authorial metalepsis and intrusions of extradiegetic narrator which undermines mimetic illusion of realistic narrative and, as a result, the inventiveness of the story and the idyllic nature of the narrative are foregrounded. Several examples extracted from various genres (a travelogue, a short story, a sketch) and authors (G. K. Zechenter-Laskomerský, M. Kukučín and S. H. Vajanský) of Slovak literary realism are given to demonstrate the shifts from the realistic to the idyllic caused by the metaleptic quality of narrative embedding. The communicative value and the effect of the idyllic are determined by the technique how the narrative is integrated into the context of complex literary expression. The change of functional perspective from the realistic to the idyllic in the fiction concerned is signalled by the symptom of anachronism considered illegitimate in temporal and causal system of realistic depiction. The symptom challenges its epistemological and educational function and in the study it is evaluated as the expression of desire for transgression of relations of successiveness and equivalence, logic and causality of objective, external necessity typical of literary techniques of the period.
