Abstract
This article studies the relationship between the historical and the “non-historical” in the novel “Laurus” by E. Vodolazkin. This ratio is comprehended through the category of time, which is the key to understanding the ideological and thematic design of the work in the context of the philosophical interpretation of the chronotope by ancient Russian people. The novel combines the ideas of linear and cyclical time, which is a characteristic feature of medieval Russian booklore. Therefore, the text combines and intertwines the signs of different time periods. There are several striking stylistic techniques that implement this idea. Some intertextual inclusions in the text of the novel refer the reader to the texts of a later period, which creates a single literary cultural space of different literatures, presenting it as an entirety. The cultural code of some characters in the work is much ahead of their era. Also, a striking feature of the writer’s idiostyle is the use of lexical anachronisms - words that could not be used in the characters’ speech, since they were not yet formed or borrowed in the described era. This fact allows us to find out how the idea of the absence of time is realized in the text of the novel “Laurus”.
