Description
L. Borodin’s novel “Tricks, or the Chronicle of the Malice of Days”: an artistic understanding of the logic of historical events of the autumn of 1993. “Tricks, or the Chronicle of the Malice of Days” (1998) is L. Borodin’s first novel, in which the originality of the author’s philosophical views on history and the fate of a person is reflected. Historical memory (the chronicle) and modern times (the malice of days), relating to each other within a single syntactic structure of the title, fill the narrative with a sense of tragedy, a worrying feeling of the recurrence of history in its terrible, bloody, hard-to-overcome moments.
The phrase “the malice of days” is ambiguous in its interpretation. On the one hand, it points to the “pressing relevance” of the problems raised by the novel, written while the events were still fresh in 1998. On the other hand, the combination of words can be understood in a metaphysical sense in accordance with L. Borodin’s “microconcept” about the constancy of “the amount of evil per capita per unit of time.”
At the center of the analysis of the novel are two aspects: the fate of the individual and the philosophy of history. In the images of three central characters, the author depicts three types of people in whom the rational principle (Krapivin) and the intuitive principle (Klimov) are unbalancedly predominant. In many ways, the image of Krutov is autobiographical: the rationalist “dry-as-dust,” trying to build a theoretical foundation for everything, is given at the beginning of the novel, while the other is a person who perceives the world and people with an open soul capable of generosity and forgiveness in the final part.
