ARTISTIC TIME IN SENANCOUR'S NOVEL "OBERMANN"
Abstract
The paper analyzes the image of time in Senancour`s novel "Obermann" which allows to clarify the nature of narration and to reveal features of the story-teller's worldview. Artistic time in the novel of Sen-ancour is considered in two perspectives: the lifetime of Obermann and time of the letter. Time of mundane existence is defined in the article as time that is frozen, stopped, discrete in nature. The absence of future cor-responds to a condition of protagonist's disbelief, his tragical detachment from eternity. The functional role of letter in the Senancour`s novel is emphasized as it represents lasting time that means overcoming the time gaps and hope of spiritual revival of the protagonist.
