"All Night I Read Your Testament …": The Image of Christ in the Contemporary Novel

Pages 6-36 | Published online: 09 Dec 2014
 

Abstract

Jesus Christ is a literary character of our time! This is a fact, and no longer an isolated one in contemporary literature. In recent years, since Bulgakov's Ieshua (Joshua) Ga-Notsri and B. Pasternak's Christ in Doctor Zhivago [Doktor Zhivago], we have also seen the Galilean Teacher who passed through trial by computer in V. Tendriakov, as well as the hero of the manuscript "Trial Against Christ" [Sud nad Khristom] in Iu. Dombrovskii's "Faculty of Unnecessary Things" [Fakultet nenuzhnykh veshchei] and the ardent prophet of the Kingdom of Justice on Earth, Iisus (Jesus) Nazarianin, in Ch. Aitmatov's "The Execution Block" [Plakha].
