The scientific novelty of work consists in the appeal to modern Tatar literary process which remains almost not investigated. The choice for the analysis of works of the Tatar literature has been caused, first of all, by the novelty of their esthetic concept. Relevant texts of the Tatar prose writers in the development plan for national art of literature are considered, the main vectors of the movement of historico-literary process are traced. As a result of the conducted research, the art and esthetic nature of the realism in modern Tatar prose incorporating elements of other art systems is established. Content and volume of the concepts ‘literary direction’, ‘current’, ‘post-realism’, ‘post-colonial literature’, ‘classical realism’ are specified in relation to the modern national historico-literary process.

The central argument of this essay is gathered from two historical novels published around same time and revolving around the same historical figure August Engelhardt. High temperature, in particular the tropical heat finds its metaphorical expression in the sun and then the fever as two prototypical colonial phantasies and/or fears and weaves the narrative around the temperature driven intricacies. Marc Buhls Das Paradies des August Engelhardt (2011) and Christian Krachts Imperium (2012) form the primary sources for the discussion within the topic of colonial desire with reference to the temperature as a significant indicator of either appreciation or devaluation underlining the colonial mentality. My paper concentrates on the overlapping sites within German speaking literature from post-colonial perspective. Along with the works of Marc Buhl and Christian Kracht, I cursorily touch upon Ilija Trojanows novel Der Weltensammler (2006), since it deals with the figure of a historical British colonial officer, Richard Francis Burton. The common thread running through all three works is not only the fact that they deal with scurrile biographies from the pages of colonial history in India and Africa, but that they develop the narrative on another common indicator – the Tropes and their Temperatures.
