The two texts examined from a spatial\/ space poetics point of view. In the study she focuses on the novels Hangyaboly \u2013 1917 \u2013 (The Ant Heap) by Margit Kaffka and Iskola a hat\u00e1ron \u2013 1959 \u2013 (School at the Frontier) by Ottlik G\u00e9za. The analysis deals with the concept of freedom, the hierarchy, the rules, the identity and identity born of the undertaken identity and the internal independence. According to the conclusion of the study, the chronotope of the convent school, which is already appearing at Kaffka, can be interpreted as an analogue of the space-time unfolding in Ottlik in its complexity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
