  The discourse of ‘Ich-Erzählung’ creates visibility, or an autobiographical narrative,
  where the author narrates the more famous classical texts on the theme of ‘love as strong as
  death’. The narration of stories is based on the principle of the repeatability of individual
  thematic units built on similarities and contrasts. The text that is being created does not translate into an autonomous story about Maria Leopoldovna, but it exposes the technique of reminiscence poetics. Quotes and auto-quotes form or create a peculiar language of the major art,
  where the names of Turgenev and Tolstoy are markers of the story. Turgenev’s subtext is

  In the paper a difference is made between the mysterious and the enigmatic as fundamentally
  different narrative and genre strategies. The first is typical of the so-called novelmystery
  or the novel-myth, charcterized by the concept of impossible rational comprehension
  of the mystery explained by the plot. The second represents a vast field of criminal literature,
  where the plot is dependent on a riddle that has a pre-given answer. The differences between
  these two types of novels are manifested at all the main levels of poetics, especially in the
  specific traits of the subject-oriented organization. However, the paper shows that the general
  strategy of the mysterious is also implemented through different moods in different criminal
  genres such as classic detective stories, the police novel, the “adventurous investigation”, and
  the “victim-centered investigation”. Thus, we can conclude that the mystery and the riddle
  can reassemble genre constructive strategies not minus then narrative.

  The article discusses the functioning of metaphors and similes in the text of E. Vodolazkin’s novel «Aviator». The tropes are divided into two groups: conceptualizing tropes and non-plot-forming ones. The main semantic types of comparative tropes are noted as proceeding from «tenors» and «vehicles» of metaphors and similes. It is shown that the tropes interact with each other and form a system in the text.
  Emphasis is put on the dynamism of metaphors and similes in the novel: they regularly reflect the hero’s changing perceptions. Comparative tropes play an important role in the unfolding of the key motifs of the novel and are associated with its various temporal and narrative plans.
