Pochwała bowaryzmu w powieści „Az isten háta mögött” („Za plecami Pana Boga”) Zsigmonda Móricza

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the role of bovarysme in Zsigmond Móricz’s novel Az Isten háta mögött (Behind God’s Back). Transtextual relationships between the novel and Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary allow reconstructing Móricz’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.
