Annotation

The article under discussion is devoted to the study of time and place relationships in L. Andreev’s novel ‘Satan's Diary', In the spatial and temporal organization of the novel's plot, there is a considerable overlap of historical, mythological, psychological and writer-specific dimensions. As a result of that approach, the peculiar world outlook is conveyed that is simultaneously both objectivized and author-based, and all that serves to reveal the writer’s controlling idea. On the basis of the theories put forward by M. Heidegger and M. Merleau-Ponty, it is possible to assert that L. Andreev in his ‘Satan’s Diary’ comes very close to the views of Lhe philosophers of existentialism for he depicts the spatial and temporal characteristics as mythological and ‘subjectively lived through’ with reference to the processes of mystification and demystification of spatial and temporal relationships. Yet there also exists no less significant inner imaginative space in the L. Andreev’s novel that is organically bound to the author's consciousness and his world outlook. L. Andreev, in this way, considerably exceeds the basic ideas and general understanding of the philosophy of existentialism.
