«SAFE CONDUCT» BY BORIS PASTERNAK: THE FORMATION OF AN ARTIST, INFLUENCE AND INTERACTION 

DOI: 10.24411/2470-1262-2020-10090

Abstract:

The article examines Pasternak’s autobiographical work “Safe Conduct” in the aspect of the problem of becoming an artist, the author’s reflection on the philosophical and aesthetic parameters of the creative process, and questions about the relationship between art and reality. The author explores the genre features of the narrative of Pasternak’s prose, associated with the freedom and dynamism of the author’s speech, the integrity of self-expression, a high degree of subjectivity of the author’s “I”. The artist’s path is built as a chain of refusals and breaks with previous ideas and values, which is a necessary condition for further development. The fate of the narrator is mirrored in the fate of special characters. Memory determines the poet’s personal self-identification.

Keywords:  Pasternak, “Security certificate”, autobiographical prose, self-identification of the artist, art, creativity
