“SAKHALIN ISLAND” ANTON CHEKHOV — “THOUGHT OF ARTISTS AND MAN ON HIS TIME” ^{[№ 1 ' 2017]}
This article establishes the connection between the naturalistic tendencies in the book, AP Chekhov's “The Island of Sakhalin” with its nature and objectives of the essay the author — to display the time. Selecting an object of scientific and artistic research, essay-genre works and, most importantly, the book task, not only led to the selection, measure and form of use of the material identified the narrator's position, the narrative tone, but also forced the author to resort to objective manner of narration, and protokolizm, faktografizm ( fotografizm), naturalistic details in the descriptions, scenes and portraits of characters — all that we call naturalistic tendencies. At the time of the trip Chekhov has developed his own ideal of complete, absolute freedom, and therefore his interest in people living in conditions of absolute lack of freedom, condemned to a life of suffering, clear. Even before the trip Chekhov wrote about the people whose lives — uninterrupted quiet suffering that can only end in death. Theme meaningless life and the theme of human suffering is very important to Chekhov. The “Island of Sakhalin” these topics many times reinforced. Chekhov depicts reality with facts. a huge number of “protocols” can be found in the text. Protokolizm and faktografizm — a techniques that uses Chekhov to readers heard, seen, realized the full horror of what is happening on the convict island, through the “Protocols” and the reality of the facts to see a different reality, a different picture of the modern world — life, suffering, life, hard labor. The space of “Sakhalin Island”, in spite of the actual huge area, bounded, closely, it “strangles” suppress man, and he seeks to break out of it. For the image space in which people “suffocating” and can not exist, Chekhov uses naturalistic colors — color, sound and smell. Naturalistic help paint Chekhov play in the book “Island Sakhalin” ways of life, suffering and life of hard labor, the human author in the modern world.
