description The article by V. Dmytruk (1945–2024), an expert on American literature, a famous translator and Associate Professor of the Department of Word Literature, outlines an essential regularity in the development of American literature – its inclusion into the “everlasting” Cervantesque tradition. The researcher emphasizes the broadness of the topic and, consequently, focuses on one vivid aspect of the said tradition: a character duo introduced by Cervantes and later employed by American novelists. This artistic practice dates back as far as the late 18th century novels (Hugh Henry Breckenridge’s Modern Chivalry: ontaining the Adventures of Captain John Farrago and Teague O’Regan, His Servant, 1792), novels about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventure sof Huckleberry Finn, 1876–1884), Jack London’s short stories (Smoke Bellew, 1912), and up to the 20th-century work by Thornton Niven Wilder (Theophilus North, 1973). The texts exemplify the diff erences in the use of character duos by American novelists.
