The Image of the Collector in Mikhail Shishkin’s Novel „The Taking of Izmail”
The article is dedicated to the problem of the collector in Mikhail Shishkin’s novel The Taking of Izmail. Using the works by Krzysztof Pomian and Walter Benjamin, the author establishes that the term “collector” refers rather to the author and the narrator of the novel than to its main character. In the article, collecting is regarded as the attitude towards the world and is considered in the context of the main traits of Shishkin’s works, among which the author identifies longing for wholeness resulting from the experience of fragmentation of the world, palimpsestic nature, and intertextuality.
