Abstract: This paper undertakes the task of analyzing György Andrássi's alternative history and young adult novel titled Polgárháború [Civil War]. It covers its counterfactual characteristics and highly emphasizes alternative world-building as well as the work's connections towards our present - therefore it does not remain within the analytical perspectives of literature only. Our work is text-centered; it is an analysis reflecting on the intermedial and intergenre connec-tions, on confessionalism, border-crossing and analogies, on intertextuality and self-reflection, on era-specific language, on mask-like hiding and the phenomenon of trauma.

Keywords: alternative history, young adult novel, world-building, contemporary analogies, ideologies
