Az idegennel való találkozás gyermeki perspektívából. Dragomán György Alagút és Lázár Ervin A tolvaj című műveinek komparatív elemzése
Meeting the Stranger from a Child’s Point of View

Summary/Abstract: In this study, I compare the chapter entitled The Tunnel (Alagút) in György Dragomán’s novel The White King (A fehér király) with Ervin Lázár’s short story A Sneak Thief (A tolvaj)part of the short story series of The Devil`s Horseshoe and Other Short Stories. My focus is on meeting the stranger. I will analyse this by exploring the peculiarities of the child’s point of view and the characteristics of magical realism. Both works put a child in the narrator`s position. The world familiar to him represents the field of reality, while the conceivable world revealed by the appearance of the stranger represents the supernatural code. I pay attention to the description of the stranger, to the behaviours and prohibitions associated with him. I present the roles that determine the attitude of the child and the process of accepting the stranger.
