Abstract

Abstract This paper delves into the essence of the linguistic aesthetics employed in Turgenev’s fiction, with its finite intertextual implications and infinite extratextual connotation, to illuminate the beauty of implication and connotation in the art universe created by Turgenev. This paper introduces for the first time Turgenev as a master of the “halftones” technique. In his works, absolutes and extremes are absent while description of objects, scenes and emotions, character settings and even internal conflicts are all painted in “halftones”. Turgenev’s writing consistently reflects the beauty of opposition and contrast, versus collaboration and harmony. This paper uses intertextual implications and “halftones” to assess the artistic value of Turgenev’s fiction.
