Features of the National Image of the World’s Expression in the Literary Works by A. Yeniki
Abstract
The work of one of the outstanding prose writers of the 20st century becomes the object of study by many scientists in various aspects. Such close attention to his work is due to the fact that in the history of Tatar literature A. Yeniki was one of the first writers in whose works the national principle clearly manifested itself, despite the dominance of the socialist realist canon, which equalizes national literatures. The purpose of our work is to study the national in the works of the Tatar writer. The concept of “national image of the world,” introduced by G.D. Gachev, is used as a tool for analyzing and identifying the national in the works of A. Yeniki. The work identifies the levels at which the actualization of the features of the national image of the world in the works of the Tatar writer takes place. The level of subjective organization allows us to establish that in the works of A. Yeniki, the consciousness of a person manifests itself, in whose value orientations the value of the national world, the family, the age-old traditions of national life acts as absolute and unconditional. The next level presented in the works is formed due to the unique connection of images, where landscape motifs play a particularly significant role. The writer creates landscapes in which extraordinary cordiality and sincerity are combined with warmth and skillful emotional decisions. In the works of A. Yeniki landscape is one of the main tools for creating an emotional tone that permeates all his works. The third level of actualization of the national features is character, which is based on the value of the family, as well as being determined by belonging to the native land, language, customs and traditions.
