Personality cosmisation in Ivan Bunin’s novel "The Life of Arseniev"
The article is devoted to the archetype of the “eternal feminine”, modifications in the literature of the 20th century. “The points of intersection” with the poetics of Romanticism, neo-romanticists, symbolists are very noticeable in the novel. This problem was posed as early as in the works of the German Romantics, Goethe, and was later developed by Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Ivan Turgenev, Ivan Bunin and, in fact, it refers to the ideas of “Russian Eros” which were claimed in the 19th century philosophy and then transited into Russian philosophical “Renaissance”. Cosmic model of a woman's love is tangibly manifested in the novel “The Life of Arseniev”. Carefully prescribed home background cannot overshadow the idea of knightly ministration to Beautiful Lady, in which Ivan Bunin is consonant with the Symbolists, who he disliked so much. Of course, the creative intention of the century, the search for Harmony, ways of avoiding deadlocks of individual consciousness manifest themselves here as well. The dispute - dialogue with neo-romanticism and the Symbolists, drawing on the folk tradition (tales, lyrical songs) - gave positive results.
