Abstracts

EN
Valentin Rasputin’s fiction abounds in expressive, detailed descriptions of Siberian nature which provide rich material for the study of various forms of perception. By means of words the writer paints pictures of vast Siberian landscapes as well as meticulous descriptions of local animals and plants. Additionally, he tries to recreate and convey in writing the smells and sounds of his beloved places. An important role in Valentin Rasputin’s works is played by his protagonists who are shown in dramatic moments in their lives, e.g. in the face of death, disease or an inevitable tragedy. It is in those moments that they manifest perception abilities which go beyond the normal capacity of the five senses. This is likely to be possible for them due to connections with the extrasensory world they have developed while living in the ordinary reality. The article discusses the portrayal of the protagonists of the novel In the Last Hour whose perception combines sensory and extrasensory experience.
