Abstract

The article deals with the image of Germany represented in the little-studied literary travelogue by A. T. Averchenko “Expedition of Satyriconers in Western Europe: Yuzhakin, Sanders, Mifasov and Krysakov (1911)”. In the images of German characters, the author singles out a prototypical component connected with the tradition of the perception of the Germans in Russian culture as self-satisfied and narrow-minded philistines, whose existence is boring, regulated and invariable. The motives of technical power, threat, ordering, as well as a gluttonic element - markedness with the images of food and drink - are characteristic of the space of Germany depicted in the travelogue.
