Abstract
The article examines the mythopoetic basis and the symbolic world of images in the historical novel Shiliyn Bogd (2015) by the Mongolian writer G. Mend-Ooyoo (1952). The mythopoetic and mytho-religious traditions of the Mongolian peoples, due to historical and cultural development, represent an established holistic worldview with a systemic picture of the world, with aesthetic and philosophical ideas about the profane and sacred, about the material and fabulous, rational and mystical, about the visible world and the other world, parallel invisible layer of being. The basis of the novel Mand-Ooyoo, as a complete work of art, is a mythopoetic pictorial dominant that expresses the author’s integral understanding of the essence of the surrounding reality. It is expressed in two interrelated and complementary aspects: epistemological and axiological. When analyzing the novel, it seems extremely important to focus on the second aspect because it is the system of artistic values and its role in creating the mythopoetic basis and the symbolic world of images that are dominant.
