Mikhail Shishkin's novels form a complex system of artistic motives. One of the most obvious is the motive of disease. This paper is devoted to the analysis of this motive in the novel “The Taking of Izmail”. The narrative motive of disease is manifested at different levels of the text structure: the plot (illness as the cause of character's action and, respectively, as the "engine" of the plot), the character (almost all heroes of the novel suffer much), the chronotope (repeatability and "interchangeability" of time and space is concerned with the motive of disease). In addition, the motive of disease is included in the complex of motives of life and death. It allows us to talk about the gradual development of the artistic concept of Mikhail Shishkin from “The Taking of Izmail” to the following novels.
