Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the transcultural features of the trilogy of novels, Szeméremékszerek, by the Hungarian author Ottó Tolnai from Serbia. In the narrative, with its complex focalization through alter-egos, the local space (the resort town of Palić on the Serbian- Hungarian border) is itself presented as a space of coexistence and encounters and interactions of cultures, with both traditional and new forms of these, while at the same time this complex cultural space intersects with global cultural spaces in many ways, which continue into each other without precisely demarcated boundaries.
