The dynamics of the text’s stay in the circle of literary classics becomes clear only over time: the experience of epistolary novels of the Enlightenment is very indicative of many aspects of literary production. “Portuguese Letters” by Guilleragues (second half of the XVIIth century) and “Letters from a Peruvian” by F. de Graffigny (middle of the XVIIIth century) offer material for understanding the mechanisms of the novel’s timeless success. These texts have experienced powerful recognition, oblivion, and rediscovery throughout history. From the history of creation, genre canon, literary process to the system of motives, rhetoric, figures, and metaphors – everything in these works is a kaleidoscope of the widest readership. The extra-literary factors and intra-textual mechanisms of the two novels by Guilleragues and F. de Graffigny together shed light on the secret of the power of the work in the context of the classics of literature. At the same time, they encourage us to check the essence of such categories as author’s mystification, fictionality, mimeticity in the communication arch of an artistic work. The article reveals these questions, which allows us to introduce the “Portuguese Letters” of Guilleragues and the “Letters from a Peruvian” by F. de Graffigny into the circle of current issues of modern literary studies to fill the gap in Ukrainian literary studies around the theme of the formation, flowering, and power of the epistolary genre in the history of French literature.

The author of the present paper deals with the general features of success of literary artefacts on the examples of several Czech authors. Regardless of some typical cases going back to the 19th century, among others a famous one connected with the name of possibly the only real Czech romantic Karel Hynek Mácha, probably the most significant romantic poet in the world observed from the point of view of poetics and artistic values and existential angles, there are quite a lot of interesting 20th-21st-century authors whose success on the one hand and loss of popularity on the other signalled the causes of the whole process and its markers. While the 19th-century authors and the success of their work were linked with the preparedness of the reading public, with aesthetic tastes and prevalent styles, more modern literature since modernism has been connected, besides the mentioned factors, more with political shifts of emphasis and with the whole social atmosphere; it also depends on the thematic and genre structure of literary artefacts, on the problems dealt with, on the degree of experimentalism. The examples of several Czech 20th-century authors demonstrate various aspects of the problem of the markers of succes and their association with their creative individuality.

The article under studies traces the poetic and publishing genesis of Paul Celan’s collection of poetry “Poppy and Destiny”. The latter collection has made its way under extremely hard circumstances; however, it has eventually become a real literary breakthrough and the young author’s greatest poetic success. On the other hand, at first the poet published large collections of his texts in renowned German-language press (“Plan”, “Die Tat”). Later, he tried many times to carry out his literary debut in the form of a book. The early stages of “Poppy and Destiny” include several handwritten text collections (“Typoscript”, 1944; “Manuscript”, 1945), in which the young author prepared and gradually implemented the concept of his collection. The culmination of this hard work was the Viennese collection “The Sand from the Urns” (1948), which Celan soon destroyed due to numerous typographical errors. Nevertheless, he never rejected it, yet he conscientiously revised the poems, including a good half of them into the manuscript of the new collection “Poppy and Memory”. At a meeting of the literary “Group 47” in Niedorf (1952), he finally managed to get in touch with the Stuttgart publishing house “Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt”, which regarded his collection as an innovation in post-war German poetry, as well as promptly published it on Christmas Eve of 1952. The publication of the collection soon became a literary sensation and laid the cornerstone of the poet’s later fame in the German and European cultural space.

The aim of this paper is to reveal a typological kinship between two outstanding religious thinkers of different eras – Hryhorii Skovoroda and Lev Shestov, who are rarely addressed in conjunction with each other. Drawing on the scarce existing research on this rich, but heavily under-researched topic, we trace the inner connection between their respective philosophical worldviews, paying a special attention to the gnoseological (epistemological) aspect of their teachings. While staying within the framework of religious faith, fundamental for both thinkers, we scrutinize their relationship with reason, focusing on the attitude of both to the scientific method. At the same time, as a distinctive feature of our analysis, we apply a literary-centred approach rather than purely philosophical one, and draw on the optics of poets and writers, characterised by their own unique philosophical premonitions. As we argue, this is justified at various levels, including the closeness of both thinkers under study to the world of literature, especially poetry, which, arguably, had a profound impact on their philosophical discourse and helped to shape their ideas. Not aiming at providing a comprehensive comparative analysis of Skovoroda and Shestov, we nevertheless hope that this paper will pave the way for future studies, and demonstrate the productiveness of our method, shedding some new light not only on these two exceptional thinkers, but also on the intrinsic proximity between religious philosophy and the world of poetry more generally.

Heinrich von Kleists literarisches Werk stellt schon zwei Jahrhunderte lang einen zugleich inspirierenden, aber auch irritierenden Ausgangspunkt für das Lese- und Wissenschaftspublikum dar. Beim Lesen vom Erdbeben in Chili aus ökokritischer und kulturökologischer Sicht wurden für diesen Beitrag sowohl verschiedene Funktionen der Natur in Kleists Text als auch Verhältnisse zwischen Individuum und Natur und zwischen Natur und der Gesellschaft in Betracht gezogen. Ziel des Beitrags ist die Hervorhebung vielfacher Deutungsmöglichkeiten aus der Perspektive der modernen Zugänge, aber auch die Interpretation von bis jetzt nicht genug erforschten Elementen dieser Novelle.

The paper analyzes the aesthetic correlation between Erotic and Ironic existence as a Narrative Identity of character Lola Montez within the Novel A Drop of Spanish Blood by Miloš Crnjanski which are important part of the modern experience. Pointing on to the frames of Crnjanski’s subversive experience of the thirties, we are setting up an interpretaion of the Novel based on the immanent poetics and the theoretical insights of feminine seduction by Jean Baudrillard’s book The Seduction. Erotic existence in the Novel is important part of the narration since it creates The Poetic figure of The Otherness while Irony, as a semantic figure of the text, exposes the cultural and historical symbols related to the uncanny portrait of the King Ludwig I of Bavaria and the revolutionary year of the 1848th.

The work tries to point out the unexplained literary-historical line of influenceс of on Branko Ćopić’s poetry, primarily of Aleksandar Vučо’s children’s poetry. Following the reasons for this unfamiliar literary-historical poetic connection, the paper points out the genre, morphological and stylistic points of contact in the works of the two authors, primarily within the genre of narrative verse, in which their representative works were created. The indicated parallel not only shows a sign of a hidden, but still present continuity in Serbian children’s poetry, but also points out an individual-poetic feature of Ćopić’s poetry: it exposes it as far more layered than it is shown in the most common writings. On the other hand, it additionally illuminates Ćopić’s path towards poetic independence, showing all the diversity of his traditional and modern poetic choices.

The subject of this research paper is the representation of comic character types in the novels “Gardijski potporučnik Ribanać” and “Lek protiv starenja” by Aleksandar Popović. In the process of basic character classification, the paper employs Frye’s structuralist conceptualization of comedy, where the essence of comic action lies in the competition between the alazon (braggart) and the eiron (self-deprecating character). In this regard, the research aims to demonstrate how these characters are shaped through naming, physical description, and character actions (specifically, through predetermined functions). Furthermore, the paper should explore the functioning of key poetic elements such as grotesque, dreams, imagination, play, and performative elements in children’s prose (and children’s literature in general) by Aleksandar Popović.
