Marie Sémon, The nostalgia for Beauty or the expression of the Sacred in the prosaic secular text.
This paper discusses a specific phenomenon of Russian prose which till now attracted but little attention of critics: the frequent irruption of Christian religious element (Orthodox services. Gospel) into secular texts, in the guise of dynamic and dramatical factor - that we call here nostalgia for superessential Beauty. Why this constant recurrence of marriage of the contraries: secular / Sacred? Is it a simple realistic reflection of a strongly christianized civilization faithfully mirrored by the novel (the writer-painter of byt, representing his characters in a church)? The purely esthetical fascination of the writer himself or the quest for God by means of the Sacred? Each of the examined texts displays the sensitiveness of its author to Christianity and, on the other hand, typical aspects of Russian religious mentality fascinated by the splendor of Byzantine liturgy.
