Венок из сказа: круглый фантастический маршрут по пластам наррации между иронией и наивностью (по материалам Исаака Бабеля, Татьяны Толстой и Жоржи Амаду)
Get PDFThe essay tries to trace a path along some of the mechanisms of skaz following the works of very different authors: Tat’jana Tolstaja’s Kys, Isaak Babel’s tales and Jorge Amado’s Captains of the Sand. The joining aspect between these works must be found in the writers’ common attitude of permitting the characters and the internal narrator to directly convey their own points of view, while the author eclipses him or herself in a very hidden position. The reader has to reconstruct the author’s point of view by awakening his or her presence in the text, which is hinted at implicitly by irony, nostalgy, etc. Especially irony acts as a veiled link between the author and the reader, who percives his or her self-exclusion from the hic et nunc of the narration and from the characters’ skaz: irony underlines this unreachable distance and separates the reader from the naive narrator as well as taking the author away from his or her narrator.The essay tries to trace a path along some of the mechanisms of skaz following the works of very different authors: Tat’jana Tolstaja’s Kys, Isaak Babel’s tales and Jorge Amado’s Captains of the Sand.

О морском „voyage de noce” („На «Титанике»” Михаила Зенкевича)
Get PDFYelena Kulikova’s paper “On a Sea Voyage de Noce (M. Zenkevich’s On the «Titanic»)” analyzes Mikhail Zenkevich’s poem about the demise of the famous ship against the background of Dante’s Divine Comedy. The author notes the Acmeist approach in Zenkevich’s description of the Titanic where the object crafted by the hands of a human creator becomes alive. The sea voyage de noce of the protagonists is interrupted by the destruction of the Titanic and turns into a journey through the circles of Hell, while Helène becomes a double for Beatrice and, like Dante’s heroine, saves the protagonist’s soul.Yelena Kulikova’s paper “On a Sea Voyage de Noce (M.

„А вы в конец света верите?”. Апокалипсис в современной русской литературе: пророчества индейцев в романе Дмитрия Глуховского „Сумерки"
Get PDFDmitry Glukhovsky’s Sumerki (Twilight, 2007) is the story of a young Muscovite who takes up the task of decoding the prophecies of the Maya Indians and connects them with the catastrophes that plague today’s world: earthquakes in Iran, hurricanes in the USA, tsunamis in Indonesia, and drought and conflagrations in Russia. The newspaper headlines and TV news announcements look like Maya Indian prophecies. While translating the old diary of a Spanish conquistador, he becomes involved in a maelstrom of incredible events which will help him interpret the predictions and look into the future, even at the cost of his own life. Can the world be saved? This is the question that Glukhovsky already asked his readers in his previous, dark and apocalyptic science fiction novel Metro 2033 (2005) about a bleak and not-too-distant future. His novel Sumerki is more than a novel – it is rather a metaphor and a manifesto.Dmitry Glukhovsky’s Sumerki (Twilight, 2007) is the story of a young Muscovite who takes up the task of decoding the prophecies of the Maya Indians and connects them with the catastrophes that plague today’s world: earthquakes in Iran, hurricanes in the USA, tsunamis in Indonesia, and drought and conflagrations in Russia.

Силуэты женщин в прозе Людмилы Улицкой в гендерном аспекте
Get PDFThe main female characters in Ludmila Ulitskaya’s stories are mostly “little women” – residents of communal areas and outcasts of society – those who are now called marginal. In general, the writer presents a reflection on the complexity of the spiritual path a woman goes through in search of her individual self and identity in the social and cultural space. Ulitskaya reveals to the readers her profiles of women of the Soviet era who are placed in a pseudoegalitarian gender system, and that is why they fight for identity, feeling that Soviet society is not their native and natural sphere of existence.The main female characters in Ludmila Ulitskaya’s stories are mostly “little women” – residents of communal areas and outcasts of society – those who are now called marginal.

Сказ в жанровых песнях Александра Галича
Get PDFThis article is devoted to an analysis of genre songs by Alexander Galich. Thanks to the epic element presented in these songs, the poet uses skaz to create a portrait of a contemporary epoch. By introducing skaz, which is a method of narration imitating the oral utterance, the author strictly refers to the literary tradition of Gogol, Babel and Zoshchenko. The main role of Galich’s skaz is irony, which can be perceived only by a prepared reader, whom the poet is counting on.This article is devoted to an analysis of genre songs by Alexander Galich.

Женщины в жизни и творчестве Сергея Есенина
No full textThe literary criticism of Sergei Yesenin’s poetry notices what is most visible in it: a description of Russia and the native Ryazan region imbued with the religion and rural cosmogony of ancestors. His hedonistic character, which was his tendency towards alcohol consumption and a rich erotic life, was frequently emphasized. This emphasis was to decrease the importance of spirituality in his works. The present article is an attempt at describing the importance of women in Sergei Yesenin’s life and works.The literary criticism of Sergei Yesenin’s poetry notices what is most visible in it: a description of Russia and the native Ryazan region imbued with the religion and rural cosmogony of ancestors.

О литературном дебюте Андрея Соболя
Get PDFThe article examines the early steps in the literature of a prominent Russian writer, Andrey Sobol (1888–1926). The first published story A. Sobol himself pointed to was “Chelovek s prozvischami” (A Man with Nicknames), which appeared in print in 1913. In fact, A. Sobol’s literary debut took place much earlier – in 1904. As the author of the article believes, Sobol attempted to cut out the first texts from his biography because these were unskillfully written. However, it is important to consider his literary debut in order to understand the evolution which Sobol accomplished from his early works to becoming an interesting and brilliant writer.The article examines the early steps in the literature of a prominent Russian writer, Andrey Sobol (1888–1926).
