THE IMAGE OF A CITY IN J.L. BORGES' AND L.N. ANDREYEV'S WORKS
In the article city in J.L. Borges’ and L.N. Andreyev’s works is examined as one of the most significant spatial images, delivering author’s world model, considerably determining the form of heroes’ being and their state of mind. The pictures of a city in Borges’ works presented through the images of labyrinth and sleep, such images as outskirts, suburbs, side streets are important for the writer, combining national and metaphysical senses. L.N. Andreyev observes city, mainly provincial, as reflection of Russian mentality and, from the other side, as impersonating and threatening space which can doom person on solitude and estrangement.
