The literary Trope of a Superfluous Man in Russian Literature and Culture

Pushkin was born in an old and noble Russian family and his work is very professional. "A phlegm that is suitable for squeezing, half of entertainment is dead: Smooth the pillow in the bed, drink the medicine bottle, get soaked," When the devil comes to you " Onogin's synchrony reflects the unrestricted pathological curiosity of highly educated people. This is a natural reaction in Russian culture, it is like a cynical realism of life. From early Pushkin's research to Lycee, he is good at French people, paintings, fencing, and Russia, according to Extriman's model, Pushkin does not feel like using such a tiger

Heterogeneous people in Russian traditional literature representing Westernized and disillusioned people became redundant throughout Soviet culture. As Russian art critic Andrei Sinyavsky noticed, this role is deeply opposed to Gorky heroes. In the last one there is a goal of placing enemies. But Gorky's hero understands enemies (official, imperial anti-revolution), they are part of the same political environment, and these obstacles will delay future revolution. However, he is not an ideological / political enemy, it is an enemy of existentialism, denies utopian concepts and casts doubt on every goodwill of socialist hero. Thus, the Romanticism of Russian literature in the 19th century became the most dangerous opponent in Soviet literature of the 20th century.

The 19th century of Russia is one of the most fruitful era in world literature. In addition to the above features, there are some features that distinguish literary cultures of these years. (1) Literature enjoys a greater reputation than the West than Russia, and the outcome is sometimes taken into consideration (as Dostoyev) It is the reason why ski once claimed. Russian literature critics are usually the leaders of Russian intellectual life and political thought. (2) Expectations and criticism of literature can accomplish functions such as philosophical, moral, religious analysis and they are usually assigned to different fields in Europe. Therefore, Dostoevsky's work is the core of the history of all these fields of Russian thought. I can see why Russian literature's best achievement is a philosophical novel.

People almost understand the American literary culture of the 1940's almost without knowing literature other than the USA, especially Russia, France, Germany, UK, especially Kafka, Dostoevsky, Kestler, Orwell, Oden, Malraux You can not. , Gide, Proust, Sartre, Coronation, Mann - This list is still in progress. In the 1940 's, the man' s reputation was very safe, so Knopf thought that advertisement was unnecessary for his book. The man who came to the United States in 1938 proved that "a majority of the American population has replaced German readers I lost."
