THE PLANT CODE OF THE NOVEL "LAURUS" BY E.G. VODOLAZKIN
The study dwells on the artistic specificity of plant images presented in E.G. Vodolazkin's novel “Laurus”. Has been analyzed the semantics of the title of the novel. We consider the significance of novelistic wood images (pine, cedar, cypress) in comparison with religious and mythological motives. We also consider the consistent development of the idea of syncretism of man and the surrounding plant world.
