ОБРАЗ КРИМУ В РОМАНІ Л. ХАЙД «ОМРІЯНИЙ КРАЙ»

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the novel «Dream Land» written by English writer and journalist L. Hyde and published in Ukrainian in 2014. The aim of our investigation is the analysis of the fictional modeling of Crimea reception in the novel. It is studied according to the imagological understanding of the reflection as a complex of ideas about the Other with using all possible cultural material. It’s specially focused that there’re two main ways of creating the reflection of Crimea – the conditionally modern one, where the main character is 12-yearsold Safinar Ismailova, and the retrospective one, where the girl’s grandfather’s memories become the source of narrative. Therefore, there’s a double historical reflection of Crimea which consists of deportation in 1944 and repatriation of Crimean Tatars in 80-90’ s of the XX ct. The reflection is modeled with crossing the national, cultural, religious features of its inhabitants. For example, Crimean Tatars’ rootedness in own traditions, their hospitality, a deep honor to the eldest family members and society in general, the connection with ancestors’ religion and other things are distinguished. The article is also focused on a traumatic experience of the XX century history of Crimean Tatars, when the national reflection of Crimea was damaged with a purposeful politics of the Soviet government. There were a false collaboration charge of the whole nation and the following deportation, the change of ethnic composition of the demiisland caused by mass relocations from different parts of USSR, ousting the Crimean Tatar language, the change of Crimean Tatar toponyms. In our opinion, the following aspect of investigation is important not only in context of forming the ethnic reflection of Crimean Tatars in the world literature, but as a factor of deepening the intercultural dialogue between nations, living in Ukraine, and creating a multicultural artistic space in the modern literature.
