Razprava z obravnavo sodobnih madžarskih zgodovinskih romanov, ki se dogajajo okoli leta 1800, išče odgovor na vprašanje, kako si je mogoče s perspektive sodobnosti razlagati dediščino razsvetljenstva. Pri analizi romanov Minervino skrivališče Lászla Mártona, Venerina pot Róberta Hásza in Nagačeni barbar Gergelya Péterfyja upošteva različne pojavne oblike kritičnega in afirmativnega odnosa do razsvetljenstva. Povečano zanimanje književnikov za čas okoli leta 1800, o katerem pričajo ti romani, je tesno povezano s sedanjimi debatami o razsvetljeni modernosti. Predstavitev tega obdobja v obravnavanih delih prispeva tudi k bogatitvi kulturnega spomina na preteklost. Analiza kaže, da se romani ne ločijo le tematsko, marveč tudi glede implicirane vloge bralca.The study analyses contemporary Hungarian historical novels that are set in the period around 1800 and aims to give a multi-faceted description of the ways they make the legacy of the Enlightenment legible from the perspective of the present time. The paper traces the signs of both critical and affirmative assessment of ideals and basic values of the Enlightenment in László Márton’s The Hiding-Place of Minerva, Róbert Hász’s The Proceeding of Venus, and Gergely Péterfy’s The Stuffed Barbarian. The increasing literary interest in the period around 1800 these novels are set in is deeply connected to recent debates concerning the values of Enlightenment modernity. At the same time, the representations of the period these works present can be regarded as contributions to cultural memory of the past. The analysis show that these novels differ not only thematically, but also regarding the implied role of the reader.
