POETICS OF HOME IN THE EARLY PROSE OF L.N. TOLSTOY (BASED ON THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL TRILOGY "CHILDHOOD", "ADOLESSENCE", "YOUTH")

Abstract

Already in L. N. Tolstoy's early prose, the description of the house is not just a kind of background of events, but also an expression of a special poetic meaning. In particular, in the autobiographical trilogy "portrait" of the house is a kind of key to understanding the spiritual and moral reality of the characters. In the autobiographical trilogy, the image of the house is the dominant plot-forming component of the text and acts in a sense-generating role. The character of the main character is revealed through the "portrait" of the Irtenev house, presented in the text in a complex semantic combination of descriptions of "internal" and "external" in the structure of a number of houses (the Valakhins, Kornakovs, Ivins and Nekhludovs).
