- Abstract
Boris Ekimov’s stories of the 2000s which formed the collection “Saturday of Souls” are analyzed in the present article. The writer doesn’t set the purpose to recreate peasants’ Atlantis but perceives today of the village as a reality in which a person lives. The concepts of “daily life” and “daily occurrence” are differentiated in the article as the ones that have different extension and occur at different times. Daily life is classified as sacral, it is one of the manifestations of existence, while daily occurrence assumes an appeal to the private life of an ordinary person in the present and his/her inclusiveness into the civilized everyday life. The study of the everyday life of B. Ekimov’s characters that allowed him to describe the current state of the village, which is characterized by the daily life coordinates reduction, has become the purpose of this article. The deformed connections between people in the literary world of the writer are, first of all, demonstrated in the transformation of the image of the master and changes in the character of the neighborhood relations
