Abstract

Abstract. The article is devoted to understanding the image of the hero in the works of Zakhar Prilepin. Using the typological and holistic methods of analyzing a literary work, the most important properties characterizing the “new man” or “new hero” in the works are established: marginality, lack of clear life guidelines, a tendency to reflection and nostalgia. The relevance of the article lies in the perception of the modern world by the hero through the prism of nature and society.
