Отель как место отдыха и развлечений (на материале современной русской прозы)

Abstract

In the fiction and documentary literature of the XX century, a significant place was taken by the image of the hotel, which was due, on the one hand, to history, and on the other – to the properties of this type of space. Wars, revolutions, migrations, as well as the natural tendency of man to travel and adventure made the hotel an important sociocultural phenomenon. This article discusses strategies for depicting temporary residences as a special recreational and entertainment space. The object of the study was the texts of different genres in the collection 33 Hotels, or Hello, Beautiful Life! Particular attention is paid to the organization of various points of view in the book, the nature of the interaction of heroes and hotel spaces, hotels and other spatial objects, as well as to the motives associated with the three functions of hotels – escapic, entertainment and wellness.
