Oswald Spengler hatása Márai Sándor és Kertész Imre civilizációértelmezésére
The Influence of Oswald Spengler on the Civilization Interpretations of Sándor Márai and Imre Kertész

Summary/Abstract: In our study we examine how the culture and civilization interpretation of Oswald Spengler influenced the thought of two significant Hungarian authors, Sándor Márai and Imre Kertész. We first present to what extent the Spengler-effect is detectible in the works of Márai written in various periods. Where does Márai agree with Spengler and where does he argue with him? After this we discuss the conclusions in the conservatism of Imre Kertész that may be paralleled with the interpretation explained by Spengler in The Decline of the West. Finally, we write about the similarities and differences between the civilization interpretation of Márai and Kertész.
