The image of the protagonist in Andrey Fiedarenko’s stories (based on the books The Chain and Silence)

Andrey Fiedarenka (born in 1959) – author of the books: History of the disease (1989), Misery (1994), Afghan casket (2002), No one’s (2009), The Chain (2012), Silence (2014) and others, winner of many awards, including Jerzy Giedroyc Literary Award. The writer is considered a classic of Belarusian literature. In his artistic work, three basic types of heroes can be distinguished: inhabitants of villages, city dwellers and writers. The presentation of often difficult family relations, differences in characters and life priorities of the heroes become for A. Fiedarenka a pretext for deliberations on the subject of contemporary man’s life, his attitude towards people and nature. In his stories, the writer presents primarily people disappointed with life, lonely, seeking the sense of existence in contact with nature. Only hero-writers can be distinguished from the gallery of poor wretches

The problem of human alienation in the stories: The Chain by An-drey Fiedarenko and The White Horse by Michas Androsiuk

У артыкуле разглядаюцца аповесці Андрэя Федарэнкі і Міхася Андрасюка, у якіх cтавяцца праблемы адчужанасці, адасаблення i самотнасці прадстаўнікоў значнай колькасці беларускага грамадства, што з’яўляюцца вынікам міграцыі жыхароў вёскі ў горад, непрыстасавання да новых умоў жыцця і цывілізацыйных патрабаванняў. Пісьменнікі паказваюць свет рэчаіснасці праз унутраныя перажыванні звычайнага чалавека і бесперапынныя вымушаныя выбары, якія толькі паглыбляюць адчужанасць чалавека ў грамадскім жыцці, яго самотнасць у тлуме іншых людзей, асяроддзя і нават у сям’і. У аповесці Ланцуг (1994) А. Федарэнка паказвае, як яго героі ствараюць ілюзорныя ўласныя прыярытэты. У сваю чаргу складаныя сямейныя адносіны, адрозненні ў характары герояў аповесці Белы конь (2006) сталі падставай для рэфлексійна-лірычных разважанняў М. Андрасюка пра недаўгавечны свет старога грамадскага ладу. Абодва пісьменнікі праз сваіх герояў умацоўваюць перакананне чытача, што праблема адчужанасці чалавека ў грамадствах, што цывілізацыйна хутка развіваюцца, становіцца лавінай, якая расце і прыносіць драматычныя і нават трагічныя рашэнні – уцёкі ў хваробу, у свет мараў/ілюзій/фантазій і, нарэшце, самагубства.This article analyses the stories of Andrey Fiedarenko and Michas Androsiuk, in which the problems of alienation, isolation and loneliness of representatives of a large part of Belarusian society were raised. They resulted from the migration of country dwellers to the city and their failure to adapt to new living conditions and civilization requirements. The writers show the reality of the world through the inner experiences of an ordinary man and constant forced choices, which only deepen the isolation of people from social life, increasing marginalization, loneliness in the crowd, the environment, the surrounding and even in the family. In the story The Chain (1994), A. Fiedarenko shows the illusory creation of life’s priorities of his heroes. The colourful and complex family relations, differences in the characters of the heroes of the story The White Horse (2006) became the basis for M. Androsiuk’s reflective and lyrical discussions on the passing world of the old social system. Both writers, through their heroes, confirm the reader in the belief that the problem of alienating man in rapidly developing societies is becoming a dramatically increasing issue and brings dramatic or even tragic solutions – escaping into illness, into the world of dreams / illusion / fantasy and finally into suicide
