ARCHITECTONICS OF THE SILENCE IN VERCORS’ NOVEL “THE SILENCE OF THE SEA” by Tatyana A. Pakhareva

“…It was also found that the epigraph to “The Silence of the Sea” and the last episodes of the story implement a transition similar to Wittgenstein’s treatise: creating a sphere of silence as an act not only within the artistic world of the story and, accordingly, in the lives of its characters, but also at the level of story architecture and at the levels of “text as an act” event integral creation in the extratextual space of existence. The dual structure of “surface/depth” was also revealed as a principle of using actual (autobiographical and historical) material in the story. …”
