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.

The stylistic trend of lyrical narration in the Lithuanian fiction was formed in the early 20th century, whereas in the Russian fiction it holds a deep-rooted tradition and relates to the origination of the ancient Russian literature. In the second half of the 20th century, literary narration was spread in short stories and novellas on pastoral topics. In fiction pieces by Juozas Aputis, Romualdas Granauskas and the Russian authors of pastoral prose like Vasily Belov, Valentin Rasputin, etc., the crisis of morality, the drama of neglected human values experienced by village people are displayed. All this predetermines the creation of exceptional lyricism of narration, emotionality being expressed through encoded titles of fiction pieces, names of characters, mottos as well as dedications to a reader focused on evoking one’s personal, cultural and historical memory.
