Egy Krúdy-novella színszerkezete – Szindbád, a hajós
The Colour Structure of One of Krúdy’s Short Stories – The Adventures of Sindbad

Summary/Abstract: The paper reviews the colour names of Gyula Krúdy’s first Sindbád short story (red, blue, gray, white, black, etc.), gives the places of their occurrences in the text, and the system of colour use based partly on the themes and partly on the colour relations. The use of colour in the description of landscapes and people is adapted to the usual state of the portrayed objects, with the exception of the student girl on her death bed and the dance school scene of the short story. In these, although white as part of the representation is also a representation of real colours, it still creates symbolism in contrast to the black dress colour of Sindbad’s former love.
