Sasha Sokolov's oeuvre stands as a pivotal milestone in the evolution of Russian literature, leaving an indelible mark on the majority of prose and poetry emerging in post-Soviet Russia. Building upon the existing studies and analyses, Napolitano embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the keystones and theoretical framework that arise from a close reading of Sokolov's works, with the aim of systematizing the findings into a structured authorial theory of literary creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe study underscores the fact that Sokolov's oeuvre cannot be fully comprehended without considering its inter-artistic context. As Sokolov himself confesses, the writer, who had failed as a composer, sought to establish natural and spontaneous connections between the artificially categorized realms of art, encompassing the realms of word, sound, painting, and performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the book presents the first substantial analysis of Sokolov's concept of proeziia, which goes beyond being merely a genre or style of his own invention. Rather, it represents a profound theoretical reflection on the writer's views about the role and value of literature, art, creation, and ultimately beauty. Through meticulous research and insightful interpretation, Napolitano offers a fresh perspective on Sokolov's literary legacy, shedding light on his profound contributions to the world of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783838216195\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martina Napolitano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097325891834,"sku":"9783838216195","price":18.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_c3fb1a53-2ff1-41a1-b3e3-4886807cdaf7.jpg?v=1649010434","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sasha-sokolov-the-life-and-work-of-the-russian-proet-9783838216195","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
