Summary
Елена Петровна Червинскене не случайно в свою книгу По закону Льва Толстого включила слова любимого писателя: «Ну-ка, что ты за человек? И чем отличаешься от всех людей, которых я знаю, и что ты можешь мне сказать нового о том, как надо смотреть на нашу жизнь?» (Червинскене 1992, 29). Неповторимая» (Červinskienė 1995, 7)1 привела профессора Червинскене к изучению литературы и к созданию собственной системы анализа художественного текста, которую она назвала «сигнальными знаками автора».
