Abstract
The article discusses and identifies the renewal of ideological and semantic content of V. Korotkevich’s creative explorations in the early 1960s as well as an artistic-aesthethic development of his talent during studies in Moscow (1958–1960, 1960–1962). The novelty and significance of the obtained results are manifested in scientific and conceptual understanding of the peculiarities of aesthetics, characteristic to the author’s artistic thinking in “The Legend of the Poor Devil and Satan’s Lawyers” and in the novel “The Rook of Despair”. The author reveals the essence of romantic, realistic and fantastic relationships in an artistic image of reality. Not only does the author define principles of using Biblical contents and images, historical facts and literary processes in various epochs but she also recommends to reread V. Korotkevich’s books and find the writer’s understanding and artistic treatment of a Belarusian. Moreover, the author discusses the functions of intellectual aesthetics in the artistic and typological structure of the image of the impoverished Rogochev nobleman Gervasiy Vylivakha and she outlines the nature of the writer’s creative experiments, which determined the intellectual discourse in the novels “Christ landed in Gorodnya” and “Black Castle Olshansky”.
