The essay offers a detailed analysis of the two novels of Attila Bartis: from The walk and The calm; according to selected<br />
angles. My purpose is to present some prose-poetical and point of view connections among different Bartis-works.<br />
The major themes are the nature of the narrative structure, the self-experience and the mode of relation to the<br />
transcendence. The paper is built up in a deductive manner, as it tries to prove the starting thesis, that The walk and<br />
The calm can be read as a couple of novel.<br />
From the point of the narrative structure the background of the comparison is that both texts are articulated as<br />
memories, their manner of speech is subjective; and the narrator’s identity is problematic. In the case of the self-experience<br />
the problem of the subject’s self-perception is presented. The walk’s main character constitutes oneself from<br />
his/her childhood to his/her adulthood; but this „oneself” all the while is being fragmentated and becomes unknowable.<br />
Andor Weér combines his self with the self of his sister, and participates in the establishment of Eszter Fehér’s<br />
self. The relation of the novel’s figures to transcendence is also very complex in the works: the world of The walk<br />
is godless, it means that it isn’t whitout God but it is against God. In The calm a father-god can be visualised, if Andor<br />
Weér could trust in the transcendent. Andor has a desire for it, but he cannot be a son.<br />
The end claims to be a summing up of the comparative reading and the initial hypothesis is proved by the conclusion:<br />
The walk and The calm can be taken for a couple of novel and in the art of Attila Bartis’ novel a consciously shaped<br />
prose-poetics manifests itself.<br />
Keywords: comparison, way of narration, subject-searching, profanity<br />
