Summary/Abstract: When understanding a text, we always become one with the tradition in which it was born. But understanding also means posing questions that will dynamize the text. Ádám Bodor’s novel describes a world which might be easy to be recognized by us, who live in post-dictatorial countries. What is the element that makes a difference between this novel and others that concern the same theme? In this paper I ask what conception of a community is formed in those living in the environment described in the he novel, and how it can be compared to primitive cultures. How is the identity of these people built up, how is it connected to their names, or nicknames, how does, if it does, a change of identity occur, and how does the protagonist speak about all these.
