Religious Discourse in Vasily Aksenov's Novel The Burn

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

This article is an analysis of Vasily Aksenov's novel entitled The Burn, which presents the way that the main protagonist - a Soviet man - goes to meet God. The novelist created a protagonist at the life crossroads, living in a secularized society, deprived of its religious roots. The novelist often puts to the foreground all the weaknesses of the protagonist and his negative experiences related to his sinfulness and moral defeats, his lack of faith in himself and in God. However, a lot of the motives in the novel exhibit the protagonist's irresistible need of seeking metaphysics and sacrum. The protagonist relentlessly seeks the truth about himself and about God.
