„Szép asszonyban a kétszáz éves ritkaság…”
László Papp Kolozsvári’s The Crone’s Stories

Summary/Abstract: In my essay I analyse two short novels that are the part of an unfinished literary cycle (The Crone’s Stories) and published only in literary papers. The reason why they have not previously been examined by any researchers is perhaps that only The Crone’ Second Story and The Crone’s Third Story were published (and only in reverse order due to the author’s conception of the works), while The Crone’s First Story was never published. In my study I compare the two texts through the examination of the narrator and narrative techniques, thematic and historical details as well as the fantastical elements and the characteristics of magic realism. With these thematic and poetic attributes, I try to illustrate some ways of interpreting of the Crone’s Stories.
