Journal Title: Львівський філологічний часопис - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
The author investigates the problem of analyzing the locuses of the city as components of the artistic space in E. Pashkovsky's novel “The Holiday”, emphasizing the allocation of three types among them: private, social and natural in the article. The first kind of locus should be characterized by coziness, peace of mind, because it is housing - an intimate place, for privacy. But the apartment of Savino's friend pushed against completely opposite sensations. E. Pashkovsky introduces into the text of thenovel the descriptions of hostels, which are full of negative connotations. The cruel world of the city is for the hero a source of confusion, anxiety, longing. So, Andrew slowly recognizes his individual intransigence with the city, and also resorts to an internal riot. The traveling-wandering causes negative feelings of Andrey, sometimes even apathy to everything around him. This is the main theme in the novels by E. Pashkovsky: the theme of a man-child, abandoned in a cruel pragmatic world, which is the city. At the junction of the private and the social is the locus of the coupe, in which Andrei is traveling. Even the nature of the novel did not differ from the general mood of the city. It is worth mentioning that the artistic space of the novel is saturated with sounds, smells and colors to show the rejection of urban life by the main character. The city for him is a terrible incomprehensible until the end of the deadly place, which seems to come, darkens all the good, clean, merciful. The novel “The Holiday” as well as other novels by E. Pashkovsky encourages readers to internal reflection, while showing the real positive and negative aspects of city life.
