Summary/Abstract: In recent years a number of contemporary Hungarian prose writings have appeared in which the visualization of the interlinguistic and intercultural experience plays a highly significant role. In the prose writings which come into existence in the intercultural border-space, a heterogeneity of the cultural space unfolds. The estrangement from the narratives of self-culture and the recurrence to these give way to another culture. This phenomenon can be analysed in the short story volume by Gábor Vida, Not free and not royal [Nem szabad és nem királyi].
