The medieval worldview understands the Universe as a dual system that divides and confronts two worlds, two entities – spiritual and terrestrial. This multiplied space was analyzed by different theologians, philosophers, and astronomers. It was also reflected in the literature of various genres. This structural feature is realized in the various types of spaces. There are an island, desert, city, and cave. All of them are represented in the literary text as models of plural spaces. Therefore, th...

The article analyzes the world of symbols in H. Skovoroda’s collection “Sad bozhestvennykh pisen”. An important feature of the collection is the biblical symbolism of the garden that the philosopher expands by introducing the metaphorical image of wisdom as grains that “sprout from the wisdom of the Holy Scriptures.” In contrast to “wild” nature, the garden is the embodiment of self-development and human-made beauty. Therefore, the main purpose of the collection is to provide knowledge about the...

One of the main ideas of the Preaching is to show connections between righteous man from the Old Testament and Jesus Christ who is their direct descendant. In t...

The article attempts to consider sacred motifs in the poetry of M. Vinhranovskyi. Although atheistic motifs are present in the author’s early poems, he later leaves them behind and edits openly atheistic lines. His poetry is characterized by a sense of universal unity, one of the manifestations of which is the peculiar use of the category of quantity, the pairing of the same word in the singular and plural, which can be interpreted with the involvement of religious discourse (since the unity of ...

The article is devoted to the specific of the visualization of the Soviet retro-time in the novel by Serhii Oksenyk “The Murder of Drunk Pioneer” (2018). It is noticed that modern Ukrainian writers rethink the memory of life in the Soviet Union more and more often. Many of them were the contemporaries of the Soviet era. They represent their personal memories and feelings, stylize the past, reflecting the paradoxes of that epoch and combining satirical-revealing and sensual-intimate aspects.
