Abstract
The article analyzes thingness and substantiality of alchemical symbolism in Y. Yanovsky's novel «The Master of the Ship» for example, the main opposition alchemical: wood – metal and wood – fire. Purpose of the article – to analyze substantiality and thingness of alchemical symbolism in the novel. Object of study – Y. Yanovsky's novel «The Master of the Ship». Subject of investigation – the specificity of thingness and substantiality of alchemical symbolism in the novel «The Master of the Ship» by Y. Yanovsky. Methods: phenomenological, structural and semiotic. Results: Tree as alchemical substance appears to work both in terms of creation (ship) and in terms of decay and transformation of energy (woods in a fireplace), generating semantic and structural pair of real images respectively: ship (tree) – cruiser «Ismet» (metal) and wood – fireplace (fire). Originality: the problem of substantiality of alchemical symbolism in the novel «The Master of the Ship» was not interpreted properly by literary critics, so this study is the first and a completely new approach to the canon Ukrainian modernism in such aspect. Conclusion: further study of image system by Y. Yanovsky at the crossroads of alchemical and Masonic symbols seems promising.
