In this article we focus on the problem of memory realised in the artistic space of E.G. Vodolazkin’s Aviator. The aim of the study is to analyse memory as a mechanism shaping the novel’s structure. In order to reach this goal, it seems important to explore the structure of the literary text, to understand the meaning of categories of memory and memories, while searching for key ideas of the text. The analysis reveals the significance of the category of memory, emphasising not only the specificity of the novel’s fictional and compositional structure, but also revealing a complex of philosophical ideas and motifs related in particular to understanding the theme of memory as overcoming time (including death) and the issue of spiritual identity formation. |
