Summary/Abstract: My questions connected to Peter Nádas’s literary work are, on the one hand, how the narrator steps over the border of the consciousness that directly experiences the present, how he finds the memories of the past, and how he can follow his own internal journey as an objective spectator. On the other hand, there is an additional fundamental question that arises – namely, how the narrator steps over his own subjective experiences and how he reaches such world experiences that are not part of his direct cognition. I would like to examine how the narrator reaches the common stories, deliberately ignoring the instruments of fiction and imagination, how he steps over the space in-between, which the mind surely perceives between I and you, between my world and the other’s world.
