Abstract

The article is a review of the collective monograph "Thanatological Theme in Russian Literature of the 11th-21th centuries", prepared by well-known experts in the field of Russian literature V.A. Voropaev, I.V. Dergacheva, E.L. Konyavskaya and V.V. Milkov. The peer-reviewed book publishes the results of a comprehensive study of ideas about death and posthumous life based on data from Old Russian written monuments and the most significant works of Russian fiction of the 18th-21th centuries. According to the authors of the book, the basis of literary thanatology in Russian culture was the Christian doctrine. But it also absorbed elements of autochthonous pre-Christian views on the afterlife and external impulses that came in the process of intercultural communication with Byzantium and the countries of Europe.
