Раздвоенное единство как жанровый принцип текста: (роман Евгения Водолазкина “Брисбен”)

ანოტაცია

The events of 1991 that have split the consciousness of the witnesses of that time continued it in the form of two separate directions. We may still see it, although each of these directions has already acquired the next, new generation. However, the unity remains inviolable, which is proved by the texts of the most sensitive writers. In this respect, it is advisable to consider the novel by Eugene Vodolazkin as the best pattern. This lyrical-epical text might be regarded through a “metallurgic” metaphor as a standard of a “high quality alloy of metals”. There are no extra words in the novel: its rhythm and semantics are unambiguous and supplement each other. The disintegration of unity leads to death. In this aspect, particular emphasis is laid on the poetics of a place – a topos of reality (the vital space of events) is presented in the description of great cities like Kyiv, Moscow, Leningrad, Paris, Munich, New York.
