Система персонажей в фантастических драмах «Р.У.Р.» и «Бунт машин» К. Чапека и А. Н Толстого

Abstract

The literary connections between these major writers have always been a subject of interest and study by researchers. In the works of foreign (I. Gaek, F. Burianek, I. Adamovich, etc.) and domestic (V. Shcherbina, O. M. Malevich, I. A. Bernstein, E. N. Kovtun, etc.) literary critics, the biography, the system of philosophical views, the creative path and the works of Karel Chapek and Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy have been thoroughly considered. However, the present paper is primarily focusing on research which deal with the comparative analysis of the work of these contemporary writers. There are few such works, and all of them are mostly discussing the influence of the socio-political views and positions of these two authors on their works. Out study will highlight and consider the main papers dedicated to the literary relations of K. Chapek and A. N. Tolstoy, summarizing and analyzing the views of researchers.
