На пересечении традиций: рассказ И.А. Бунина «Руся»

Abstract

The short story “Rusya” opens the second part of I. Bunin’s well-known cycle “Dark Avenues”, that is the masterpiece of prose written by late Bunin. This short story was analyzed by many Russian and foreign scientists (Y. Geymbukh, G. Sidnev, L. Iesuitova, I. Sukhikh, A. Saakyanz, J. Woodword) and they defined it as one of the main stories of “Dark Avenues” and the example of the ornamental narration. The purpose of this article is investigation of the particularities of the realistic and modern traditions crossing, and this aspect of Bunin’s short story “Rusya” wasn’t the special object of the complex analysis. The outcomes of the analysis show that the key constants and dominants of Bunin’s artistic world are explicated in “Rusya”, and all of this Bunin’s context and fulfillment is integrated by the Bunin’s “wise artistic method” (V.

And Bunin remained the representative of the classical Russian literature and he expressed its general line of the realistic mapping of the actual life, but at the qualitatively new turn of the artistic and aesthetic development. Bunin’s realism was affected by modernism because of the writer himself took part in the process of the renewal of the classical literature traditions, thus the new quality of writing directly reflected on the specificity of the whole Bunin’s creation. In this short story Bunin anywhere doesn’t go beyond the objective image of the world, and even irrational, spontaneous feelings of the lovers are represented realistically. The image of reality is kept but the opportunities of Bunin’s representativeness are significantly expanded that correspond writer’s complicated aim – to embody in a word an unutterable mystery of life. And Bunin’s possibilities are extended through lyrization, semantic condensation and special ornamentalization of the writing that promote symbolization of narration. However, the writer doesn’t specially endow own images with the symbolic meanings therefore they don’t fit in any certain miphosymbolical model and have just the most general traits. So, I. Bunin continued the traditions of the classical Russian literature but greatly e
