Sasha Sokolov's oeuvre represents a milestone in the development of Russian literature; his legacy can be traced in most prose and poetry appearing in post-Soviet Russia. Taking as point of departure the studies and analyses written so far and considering the new suggestions contained in Sokolov's last published book \u003ci\u003eTriptych\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), Napolitano further examines the keystones and the theoretical framework that arise from a close reading of Sokolov's works, trying to systematize the findings into what can be considered as a structured authorial theory of literary creation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe study demonstrates how Sokolov's oeuvre cannot be fully understood but within the widened perspective of inter-artistic creation: In fact, the writer, a \"failed composer\", as he admits, in his literary work has tried to draw natural and spontaneous connecting lines between the artificially categorized realms of art (word, sound, painting, performance). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinally, the book sets forth the first solid analysis of Sokolov's concept of proeziia, not merely a genre nor style of his own invention, but a more significant theoretical reflection of the writer about the role and value of literature, art, creation, and finally beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martina Napolitano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838216199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838216195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 0.50d","brand":"Martina Napolitano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988729069823,"sku":"9783838216195","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86fe0918-4484-48f5-b356-e614c810967e.jpg?v=1683296058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sasha-sokolov-9783838216195","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
