Abstract: THE UGLY BEAUTIFUL LAWS OF THE WORLD IN ANDRUŠKA'S NOVEL POTOMOK (DESCENDANT) The article points out the contemporary social establishment and interpersonal relations in the novel Potomok (Descendant), written by the Slovak writer Peter Andruška. It is based on every valid moral principle of humani-ty and morality. It presents perhaps the typical actions of honest and less conscientious people, compares col-lective and individual efforts. In the background of the chronotope of southern Slovakia in the eighties of the 20th century, it generalizes but also concretizes. It is based on contemporary metatexts of literary criticism, while searching, interpreting, analyzing the strange, distinctive, observable. However, individual theoretical findings and judgments are also supported by selected quotations from the original. Thanks to them, the aforementioned laws of the world are also to become our authoritative ethical vectors.

Keywords: Social conditions, interpersonal relations, morality, interpretation, Peter Andruška
