| Abstract: |
The article analyzes the artistic fabric of Ivan Goncharov's novel «Oblomov» in which the motive of the letter is essential. The protagonist of the novel often writes or reads letters, and in the context of letters, through the process of writing he manifests his unique personality, and typical qualities. Even Oblomovka appears before the reader in the first letter of elder Demka Krivoy, even love of Ilya Ilyich and Olga Iliinskaya unfolds on the background of their letters to each other. In addition, letter has symbolic and philosophical significance in the novel. At the same time attributes of writing (dried-up ink, a pen, writing with his finger in the dust, the tablets of history) deepen the ideological background of the novel, create the effect of alphabetical order in the literal sense. The paper also offers understanding and historical perspective of a letter: the letter as a generic sign bearing the social, historical, aesthetic information. This starting point allows the researcher to make a new turn in the study of Goncharov works: Oblomov and writing. |
