Summary/Abstract: The theme of returning in Zoltán Bárkányi Valkán's prose. Zoltán Bárkányi Valkán is one of the emblematic representatives of the Hungarian Slovak literature. In his short epic writings the theme of leaving is a constant element. The returning can only be examined in relation with „leaving”, departing from something important. Leaving the parental house and integration in a new environment wears out the spirit of B. Valkán's characters, and creates generational conflicts. The essay examines the role and place of national traditions in our globalizing world, by contrasting home, the individual and the whole world.
