Abstract:

It is known how Prishvin valued his diaries, from which he emerged as a writer. But without additional work, a coherent piece of art could not be born from scattered notes. Prishvin's first book, "In the Land of Wild Birds," demonstrates the writer's desire to discover an unknown world. In the following works, "Following the Magic Kolobok" and "The Black Arab," there is a noticeable desire to get closer to the myth. Here, the images interrelate as tonalities in a piece of music. Prishvin had another way of creating a work from a diary. He selected records and arranged them inside a complex hierarchy of parts and chapters. The main image in the book "The Eyes of the Earth" is the interconnection of images from certain miniatures, chapters, and parts. The complex hierarchy of individual images becomes a way to create a complete work of art.
