Artistic Features Of Re-Writing The Novel On The Eve, on The Eve By Yevgueni Bobov: As an Example

The paper tackles two topics. The first is about the term Ремейк which is very common in contemporary Russian literature; it has counterparts such as Обработка and Переделка, where these two may indicate any of the following meanings (remake, reformulate, rewrite, treatment, modification, change). It has been shown that this term does not have a stable definition. Also, the role of this term in literary studies has been mentioned along with how it has come to its peak of use in post-modern literature. The second is that I have taken a sample of well-known works in Russian literature On the Eve, On the Eve by the contemporary Russian writer Yevgueni Bobov, and shown the effort of the writer in re-thinking about the novel On the Eve by the classical Russian writer Ivan Turgenev. The main theme in both is love towards Russia, and I have shown that the common factor in both is the unchanged names of the characters. At the same time, the satirical parody is not seen as the dominating theme in the text; it is a principal basis in the organizing the text as to the structure of the them and of the character. It is seen as an essential element in the artistic world of the novel, which is built within post-modernity. Moreover, the meaning therein, is not dependent extensively upon parody, for it changes narration to a repeated artistic style.
