“Cantos” by Ezra Pound in Russian

The paper provides a review of the complete translation of one of the key works in the history of world literature, the poem “Cantos” by Ezra Pound, published for the first time in Russian. The translation was done by Andrey Bronnikov, who also prepared a commentary on it and wrote an introductory article. The review shows that Pound's epic is a synthesis of all possible forms of epic — archaic, heroic and lyrical, it is a poem that tells about the eternal confrontation between the beautiful and the high, personified by historical and mythological heroes of different eras in the history of world culture, and the vulgar and ugly, personified a faceless symbol called Uzura (Consumer) by the poet. The key characteristic, thanks to which the poem can be attributed to the genre of the epic, is, in addition to the plot associated with the problem of the eternal originality of this opposition, also the language, filled with facts, quotes and clichés, edited by the epic poet in the same style.

“Ladies and sorvants”: about two “Chinese texts” of Russian literature

After the Civil War, Harbin became the “capital” of the Russian emigration in China, the source of the salutary memory, which made it possible to revive Russian culture in the memory. The “Chinese mind” brought mythologemes of space and chaos into the poetry of the Far East abroad. Their interaction with the event plan of consciousness has created a set of stable motive-figurative and semantic dominants. The Harbin myth as a utopian myth about the re-creation of pre-revolutionary Russia in a Chinese city has become a semantic invariant of the first “Chinese text”. Second, the Soviet “Chinese text” is accompanied by a “drunken” discourse, a discourse of inspiration and obsession, presenting the Chinese revolution as a sacred process of cleansing from violence and colonialism.
