THE PROBLEM OF THE RANSFORMATION OF THE HUMAN SOUL IN THE STORY OF K. PEVTSOVA “THE DESERT”
The story of the modern author K. Pevtsov “The Desert”, one of the most reliable in conveying the essence of the Orthodox faith and at the same time works of art, convincingly shows the life of a righteous man and the coming of an atheist to the faith. The work contains allusions to biblical, folklore texts. The story is imbued with the motives of prayer, faith, and the struggle with passions. The chronotope, which organizes the action, contributing to the spiritual ascent of the heroes, has special meaning in the work.
