metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article provides a detailed critical review of the Russian-language commented scientific
  publication of Letters from Turkey by Keleman Mikes, an outstanding monument of Hungarian
  narrative prose of the 18th century. The text is analyzed in terms of the currently relevant
  category ‘world literature.’ In the course of the analysis, three important points of association
  of Letters from Turkey with world literature are revealed. These are namely firstly, a high degree
  of internationality of ideas, plots and motifs presented in this work in the form of obvious and
  hidden quotations; secondly, the way in which the author designs his own writer’s identity;
  thirdly, the specific sharpness and depth of cross-cultural and cross-confessional analysis of
  the Islamic context and the particular multicultural “interim” (in contact with the Turkish,
  Armenian, Jewish, and Greek cultures), in which the author as a European-educated Hungarian
  Christian intellectual lived for several decades. Highlighting some of the shortcomings
  of the scientific apparatus of the publication, the author notes the high level of philological
  culture inherent in the book as a whole. In the course of comparing the Khotyn episode of
  Letters by Mikes with Ode on the Taking of Khotin from the Turks by Mikhail Lomonosov, it was concluded that the literary tasks of the two authors, who were contemporaries, are opposites.
  Lomonosov creates an outstanding monument of national literature from the elements
  of world literature; on the contrary, Mikes elevates the Hungarian national prose to the level
  of world literature.
