The article deals with the artistic echoes of the ideas of the German romantic author E.T.A. Goffman in the novel “The Collector” by the English postmodernist J. Fowles. The aim of the study is to prove that Hoffmann’s concept of dividing people into inhabitants and artists, burghers and creative persons, ordinary and elected ones, i.e., philistines and enthusiasts, found its artistic echo in the images and situations of the novel “The Collector” by J. Fowles; as well as to generalize and adapt scientific and theoretical material on this problem to the students of philology while their preparation for practical and seminar classes. The research methodology is to extrapolate Hoffman’s concept of enthusiasts and philistines to the text of the “Collector”, as well as to determine the confrontation between these two types of people as one of the leading themes of Fowles’ novel. Research results. It is emphasized that Hoffman has divided all his characters into two unequal groups: enthusiasts and philistines. It is established that in Hoffmann’s stories the world of enthusiasts symbolizes full of life existence with all the richness of ideas, emotions, contradictory and complex feelings typical for a search person; the world of philistines, instead, personifies a dim imitation of a real life, i.e. a “mechanized” existence, in which there is no creative impulses, creative initiative. In his works Hoffman warns mankind of the danger of such existence emphasizing the need to protect the world of enthusiasts. It is proved that Hoffman’s thoughts were prophesied. Less than 150 years later, their echo has found its artistic reflection in the works of modern English writer John Fowles, in particular in the novel “The Collector”. In the images of the protagonists Miranda and Frederick Clegg, John Fowles depicted two opposite worlds, which are considered a symbolic continuation of the confrontation of Hoffmann’s enthusiasts and philistines. Miranda represents a modern type of enthusiast, a search person who is choked with emotions and feelings, intuitively realizing that this is the meaning of her life. Clegg generalizes a modern type of a philistine – an ambitious, limited tyrant, full of hidden malice and hatred for those who are spiritually richer and smarter. Hoffman’s warnings have also come to the fore in the fact that philistines can make enthusiasts their victims, as it is illustrated in the novel on the example of the tragic fate of Miranda. Scientific novelty. Reminiscences of Hoffmann’s ideas about the confrontation between enthusiasts and philistines, generalized in the images and types of “The Collector” by J. Fowles, reminding of the eternal antagonism between love and hatred, good and evil, creative living principles and a mundane existence, constitute the scientific novelty of this article. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used for further research of J. Fowles’ literary heritage. The article will be also useful for the students of philology while their preparation for seminars and practical classes.

The article deals with the confrontation of two worlds – the world of ordinary people and creators in the novel "The Collector" by the English writer-postmodernist J. Fowles. The aim of this study is to prove that the conflict between consumers and enthusiastic creators is one of the main themes of the novel "Collector", as well as to emphasize the writer's hidden appeals and warnings about the need to protect the vulnerable and vulnerable world of creators from the external correct and mechanistic world. consumers. Within the topic, it is important to generalize and adapt scientific and theoretical material on this issue for students of philology. The research technique consists in extrapolating the method of "practical criticism" (A.A. Richards, S. Johnson, M. Arnold, T.S. Eliot, F.R. Lewis) to the literary text of J. Fowles' novel "The Collector". In particular, it is assumed to read the text in accordance with the moral criteria and analyze the problems of content (clarification of the moral guidelines of the author). Results of the research. It is proved that J. Fowles in the novel "The Collector" depicted two opposite worlds – ordinary people and creators. The world of creative enthusiasts symbolizes a full life with all the richness of ideas, emotions, contradictory and complex feelings inherent in human search, and the world of ordinary people embodies a dim imitation of real life, "mechanized" existence, in which there are no creative impulses, creative initiative. Miranda is found to represent the world of creators, she is a man of search, she lives, choking on emotions and feelings, intuitively realizing that this is the meaning of life. Clegg summarizes the world of the townspeople. He is an ambitious, limited tyrant, full of hidden malice and hatred for those who are spiritually richer and smarter. At the same time, the writer showed the vulnerability and insecurity of the world of beauty and culture, recalling the eternity of the confrontation of love and hate, good and evil, creative living beginnings and hard, mundane existence. The practical significance of the research results lies in the possibility of their use in the further study of the literary heritage of J. Fowles, as well as in the preparation of students of philology for practical and seminar classes.

“Moon`s Abduction” by Konstantine Gamsakhurdia is a very important text written in the Soviet Georgia. The writer created monumental literary landscape in the period of so called “socialist realism” literary style. The novel makes a great demand on the reader`s erudition, on his capacity to understand the complex allusions, literary, philosophical and mythological, that characterize Gamsakhurdia`s prose. The present article deals with the world-outlook of Soviet and Post-Soviet literary critique – on the background of the publicistic letters of the outstanding critics Beso Zhghenti and Soso Sigua. The novel clears up the writer`s attitude to the revolution, socialism, collectivization of agriculture, person`s role as a member of society. The Soviet and Post-Soviet critics world-outlooks are absolutely different. By the Soviet critic (Beso Zhghenti) the novel is an excessive apologia of Soviet system, of Soviet state-building, a positive character (hero) is Arzakan Zvambaia, the security officer, the ossicial of Cheka, Bolshevism is better than traditional life of Georgia, civilization is better than culture. By the Post-Soviet world-outlook (Soso Sigua) the novel is a reflection of tragedy of the Georgian nation (because of negation of Georgian traditions, unique Georgian culture), a positive character is a prince Tarash Emkhvari, cultural and well-educated person; Bolshevizm is tragedy. Literary, philosophical and mythological allusions characterize Gamsakhurdias literary heritage (verses, short-stories, novels). The article deals with the world-outlook of the author. The official of Cheka Arzakan is a patricide, another official Arlan cut the centuries-old sacral tree - Bolhevizm hates roots and traditions. There are a lot of mythological characters reflected in the novel (Aramkhutu-Amirani, Sacral-tree, Mezir – Sacral serpant…). A reader feels the influence of Nitcze and Bergson world-outlook, passages from Hesiod`s “Theogony” and Appolonios from Rodoss “Argonautica.”The novel of Konstantine Gamsakhurdia is one of the best reflections and the best samples of Georgian novel of the 30s of the 20th century epoch.

Ovid’s myth of the Cretan labyrinth, constructed by Daedalus to hide the Minotaur, the monster that is a result of Pasiphae’s lust, and Dante’s labyrinth of Hell, in The Inferno, are literary allusions that conjure images of imprisonment and moral dilemma. In this paper, I explore the metaphor of the labyrinth in The Year of Living Dangerously (YLD) and the way in which Koch integrates this metaphor with Christian, Hindu and Buddhist myths so as to engage with the cultural divide that continues to influence Christian and non-Christian worldviews. The labyrinth metaphor emerges through the imagery of the novel which focuses on caves, shadows, circuitous paths, entrapment, and moral choices. In the novel, the metaphor of the labyrinth is conveyed through the underworld imagery of Indonesian society and through the Wayang Bar, the citadel of the journalists trapped in a world of political intrigue and of good and evil. Metaphorically evoking the medieval concept of the world as a perilous maze, Koch uses the labyrinth as a way of imaging the search for the sacred in contemporary society.

Productive Role

The present paper is devoted to the analysis of the novel “Was I not a viburnum in the meadow?” written by a modern Ukrainian writer Volodymyr Shkurupy. The novel was written in 1984 and was first published in 1990. The article focuses on the features of syntax in the novel under consideration. The author describes the events which took place in Ukraine after the World War ІІ. The writer builds a narrative based on the true life stories told by relatives and acquaintances. The genre of the novel involves going beyond the main time. The older characters reflect on what happened in Ukraine in 1932–1933. Their narratives are associative pictures of their experience. In the process of research analysis it was specified that the author uses the appropriate syntax to reproduce emotional tension. Phraseologisms appear as generalizations and peculiar formulas that figuratively show the dramatic life circumstances of the famine of 1946–1947 are employed. It is worth noting that one-member sentences play the most productive role. For example, definite-personal sentences (particularly presented from the first person) indicate the presence of the narrator in the circumstances, and therefore their plausibility. Indefinite-personal sentences emphasize the mass repressive measures of the authorities against the Ukrainian population. One-member sentences – definite-personal and indefinite-personal – dominate in the narratives of older characters about the Holodomor of 1932–1933. Their function is similar to that performed by these types of sentences in the pictures of the main tense. Thus, the peculiarity of the syntax in the novel Was I not a viburnum in the meadow? written by V. Shkurupy is that the author used definite-personal and indefinite-personal sentences to bring the artistic reality closer to that experienced by the Ukrainians in the Holodomor of 1932–1933 and in 1946–1947. The obtained results undoubtedly have both theoretical and practical significance. In addition, the writer's works require further scientific research.

The aim of this study is to define the concept of the title museality, the selection and analysis of relevant works of the world literature both separately and as a unified group of narratives, and determining the existence of a separate literary trend. Research methodology. The author uses analysis, synthesis, abstraction, concretization and generalization of scientific sources and literary texts with features of title museality. Results. The main characteristic evidence of the concept of “title museality” is determined and a group of literary narratives is identified. These features correspond to: “The Heritage” by Siegfried Lenz (Germany), “Outside the Dog Museum” by Jonathan Carroll (USA), “The Night at the Museum” by Milan Trenc (Croatia), “Behind the Scenes at the Museum” by Kate Atkinson (Great Britain), “The Museum of Innocence” by Orhan Pamuk (Turkey), “The Museum of Abandoned Secrets” by Oksana Zabuzhko (Ukraine) and “Museum of Thieves” by Lian Tanner (Australia).

The Khanty writer Maria Kuzminichna Vagatova (Voldina) put into her fairy tales not only moral and ethical guidelines for the younger generation: what is good and evil, the need to respect nature and animals, but also the cultural layer of the indigenous people of the North, which consists of mythological motives. The tales of Maria Vagatova are studied in the national schools of Khanty-Yugra within the framework of the subject Native (Khanty) Literature, due to which students absorb a conscientious appeal to the world around them from childhood, and also study a significant part of Khanty mythology, which has not disappeared under the influence of modernity and forms the outlook of those who still honor the traditions of their ancestors. The relevance of this topic lies in its poor study. When looking for the necessary information, it was noticed that most often when considering the work of Maria Vagatova, researchers turn to her poetry, and not to fairy tales, and mostly in the aspect of comparison with the works of other Khanty writers. This explains the theoretical significance of this article. The practical significance implies the possible use of the analysis of mythological motives in the fairy tales of Maria Vagatova in the educational activities of national schools. The main content of the work is based on the analysis of mythological motives in the fairy tales of Maria Vagatova from the collection Tyoi, Tyoi: Hips-Vips, Hily and Aki Black Heart, Hare and Fox, Khlebushko, Bunny-Black Tail ... To identify these motives, elements of a system-holistic analysis of a work of art and a hermeneutic method were used.
