Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the role of bovarysme in Zsigmond Moricz’s novel Az Isten hata mogott (Behind God’s Back). Transtextual relationships between the novel and Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary allow reconstructing Moricz’s original understanding of bovarysme and its place it in the broader, socio-literary context of modernising Hungary at the turn of the 20th century.
