História vpísaná do tela (Péter Nádas: Paralelné príbehy)
History Written in the Body (Péter Nádas: Parallel Stories)

Summary/Abstract: The history in its process is first of all a sensual occurrence, as its actors are people taken from life. So the historical actions influence the psychical-physical conditions of people taking part in it. The lived history is the history of the body; tortured, suffering, going hungry, loving, pressed or even pleased. The most beautiful and authentic descriptions of the historical being of the body are to be read in the novel of Péter Nádas: Párhuzamos történetek. Nádas is interested not in the different narratives and interpretations of the momentous events, but how they appear on the level of the cells and nerves; in brief, in the way in which we exist primarily and preeminently. The paper analyses the living and lived body appearing in the novel, and how the lived history appears in the living and lived body.
