«ARABESKUES» BY N.V. GOGOL AND CREATIVITY OF «LYUBOMUDRS»

Abstract

The article is devoted to the correlations with the works of “lyubomudrs” (“wise men”) in N. V. Gogol’s collection of “Arabesques” (1835). Most of these reminiscences are associated with two parts of the “Works of D. Venevitinov” - “Poems” (1829) and “Prose” (1831), which became the focus of the aesthetic and philosophical ideas of “lyubomudriye”” (“love to wisdom”). However, visible connections with him do not exclude the originality of Gogol’s decisions, which not only developed and transformed the romantic concept, but in some ways contradicted it.
