  Abstract:  Metaphors of Naples, the city of insects in the Diaries of Sándor Márai (1948–1952). The famous Hungarian writer Sándor Márai spent his first period of exile in Posillipo in Italy between October 1948 and April 1952. He recounted his experiences in detail in his Diaries, in which in addition to the numerous descriptions of events concerning Naples, Posillipo and the Gulf of Naples, on several occasions he established and emphasized associations between the everyday life and the various aspects of the Mediterranean city on the one hand and the organization of the insects in the termitarium on the other. This study will, therefore, concentrate on the analysis of these passages.

Keywords: Sándor Márai, exile, Diaries, Naples, Posillipo, metaphor, termitarium
