THE IMAGE OF A RUSSIAN HOUSE IN THE CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS OF I. A. BUNIN
The central image of Bunin's work - the Russian House - is considered in the article from the point of view of its evolution. The development of the image from the origins to the heights of mastery went along with the accumulation of spiritual and aesthetic forces by the writer. In this regard, the expansion and simultaneous deepening of figurative semantics, symbolization of the House are noted. The article emphasizes that for all the layering of the figurative units united by the motive of the House, they retain the specificity of living reality, based on autobiographical impressions and memories. During the years of emigration, this line of artistic embodiment helped to make up for the loss of the Fatherland, the destruction of the spiritual traditions of the past in it.
