The estate here is of key importance in the image-structure of the work. The world of an English estate is reflected as a multi-faceted text, extremely enriched with cultural signs. Novel by Kazuo Ishiguro “The Remains of the Day” can be regarded as one of the examples of typical British aristocratic prose. The narrator and protagonist of the novel is a butler, who serves in the large English Stately home Darlington Hall. The family estate is considered by the hero as a symbol of order and harmony, and at the same time it personifies the ideal world of the past that is gradually fading away. In 1993 the director James Ivory made a film based on the Ishiguro’s novel. He created different visual images of an English estate on the screen with particular accuracy. Fictional Darlington Hall is a combination of several Stately homes located in the southwest of England. The novel by Kazuo Ishiguro and the film by J. Ivory are memories of a bygone era of British Empire, ended with the Second World War.","PeriodicalId":275074,"journal":{"name":"Russian Estate in the World Context","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124636241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Turgenev’s story “Faust”, a Goethe’s tragedy, book from the protagonist’s library when being read together by the characters, wakes their feelings and helps them to realize themselves, though leads them eventually to the dramatic final. In Goncharov’s novel “The Precipice” Boris Raisky’s library and the characters’ attitude to it is one of the characters’ axiological characteristics and also an occasion for them to discuss the role of memory preserved in the tradition of world literature, the actuality of meanings that it comprises.

Bostrom land owner J. Mironov real estate “near the village of Pavlovka (Sosnovka also)”, depicted by A. Tolstoy in the story “Nikita’s Childhood”. Further, the structure of the estate space in the story is studied and it is concluded that all the components of the estate topos — garden, ponds, cellars, barns, etc. — are in the process of non-stop metamorphoses that set in motion the entire estate as a whole; these metamorphoses constitute the real plot of the story. In conclusion, a fantastic hypothesis of the organization of the “estate topos” in “Nikita’s Childhood” is proposed, which brings this story closer to the works of A. Tolstoy in the genre of fiction and, above all, to the story “Aelita”.","PeriodicalId":275074,"journal":{"name":"Russian Estate in the World Context","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125864222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The publication combines the articles of 24 authors, distributed in three sections. The first two are devoted to the estate- dacha theme in Russian literature at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries and divided into prose, poetry and drama. The third is devoted to aspects of the image of the estate in the literature of the Soviet decades and in the modern era. Inside the sections, the material is placed according to the chronological principle, articles about the dacha are given at the end. The novelty of the publication is also determined by the motive-genre paradigm of the scientific analysis of the “estate” works by A.A. Blok, D.S. Merezh kovsky, L.N. Andreev et al.; by appealing not only to famous “estate” authors — A.P. Chekhov, I.A. Bunin, A.N. Tolstoy, but also to half-forgotten writers — O. Olnem, N.N. Rusov, S.N. Durylin; by the elucidation of the specifics of the “estate topos” in the literary directions of the XX — early XXI centuries: symbolism, neorealism, expressionism, socialist realism, metamodernism, etc.; by the study of the writer’s reception of varieties of the estate of the turn of the XIX–XX centuries, such as merchant, city, Siberian ones.
