THE MAIN THEMES IN THE POETRY OF VALERY PERELESHIN

Abstract

The article examines the work of Valery Pereleshin, one of the most prominent Russian emigrant poets of the 20th century who lived in China. The poet made a significant contribution to the development of Russian literature in China and around the world. V. Pereleshin’s literary works are distinguished by the originality of poetics and clarity of subject matter. An analysis of his works dedicated to homesickness, deep love for China, as well as an analysis of the author’s intimate lyrics, contributes to the awareness of the cultural significance of his works. It is noted that each topic raised by the author – the topic of longing for Russia, the topic of love for China, the topic of rethinking love for a woman – reflects the fact that he is an emigrant, torn off from his homeland, devoid of roots and forced to stay in a foreign land, and in a country that he could sincerely love.
