The Representations of Transylvania in the Works of Tibor Déry

Summary/Abstract: For Tibor Déry, Transylvania meant an important life experience although it never became central in his books published during his lifetime. His representations of Transylvania can be discussed based on short stories or shorter novels that appeared only in literary magazines or peripheral publications and collections, and also in his posthumous works. Déry cannot be considered a naive traveller in Transylvania, he was concerned with the multiple perspectives of the land’s inhabitants. In his works Transylvania appears as a multicultural space (inhabited by a Hungarian, Romanian, German, Jewish etc. population), but also as a place where class interaction takes place. The article focuses on the short novel A Kriska, discussing the specific perspective of the narrator, based on the tourist gaze theory.
