Literary Heritage of G.N. Aygy

Abstract

This article focuses on literary heritage and special features of aesthetic concept of Chuvash poet G.N. Aygy. The analysed body of work of this wordsmith represents a natural phase of evolution of national, Russian, foreign literatures which, absorbing several currents, arises as a new phenomenon in the existing artistic system, reflecting both certain characteristics of non-classical rhetoric and recent trends in public conscience, where search for the meaning is transferred from social and philosophical areas into spheres of intuition and aesthetic. The current interest to the non-classical rhetoric dictates the need to make sense of nuances in Aygy’s lyrics, who was able to present through his own literary world the main idea of Chuvash ethnic community – aspiration towards light.
