THE DIALOG WITH THE READER IN “THE WORD ON THE WAY” BY PYOTR VAIL

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the issues related to analysis of some special features inherent in the literary genre of travelogue. The research is focused on the artistic originality of “The Word on the Way” (2010) by Pyotr Vail. The ways of constructing the dialog in the communicative chain, by which the information is transferred from the author to the reader, are studied. Pluralism as the main principle in the organization and structuring of the material reveals the importance of the author’s image in the inner world of the text. The relation between the concepts of “native” and “foreign” is fundamental for understanding the artistic originality of “The Word on the Way”. The originality of this binary opposition in Pyotr Vail’s collection actualizes the significance of the USSR’s role in the process of constructing the world’s history. The author’s attitude to the well-known historical facts appeals to the recipient consciousness, thereby engaging them in active mental activity. In this case, the book lined up a trusting relationship with the recipient. Despite the dominant role of the author where the narrator acts as a slave of the subject, it is necessary to touch upon the process of bilateralism. It promotes the recipient’s living response to the provocations given in the idiomatic statements.
