Explore the Ethnomentality of the Far East in Russian Émigré Fiction
This monograph offers a deep dive into the artistic portrayal of Far Eastern ethnomentality by three key writers of the Harbin diaspora: Pavel Shkurkin (1868–1943), Boris Yulsky (1912–1950?), and Nikolai Baikov (1872–1958). The book focuses on how these authors perceived the religious, linguistic, ethical, and cultural specifics of life on the frontier, as well as the role of the natural environment in shaping local mentality. Particular attention is given to the Chinese way of life.
Through contextual analysis, the study identifies similarities and differences between the motifs in their works and those found in literature from the Russian metropolis, China, and Western Europe. The publication is intended for specialists in the history of Russian émigré literature from Harbin, as well as literary scholars, cultural historians, and ethnographers. It will also appeal to a broader audience interested in cross-cultural literary studies.
