Summary/Abstract: In this study, I explore the intermediate spaces of Péter Nádas's work Világló részletek and more specifically, I try to explore the direction of consciousness movement of the first-person narrator. In the first part of the study, I attempt to grasp how the narrator crosses the border of the immediate perceptual consciousness of the present, how he finds the memories of the past and how he can objectively observe and record his own inner journey. The second part of the study also poses the question how the narrator transcends his own subjective experiences, and how he reaches world experiences that are not part of his direct cognition. So in the second part, I want to track how the narrator, without using the tools of fiction and imagination, comes to common stories, how he transcends the intermediate space that the cognitive mind inevitably perceives between the world of me and you, myself and the other.
