Приключения капитана Врунгеля»: история свободного плавания

Abstract

The humorous story "The Adventures of Captain Vrungel" (1937), which has gained wide popularity largely thanks to the animated series by David Cherkassky, remains poorly studied, as does the life and work of its author — A. Nekrasov. The author of the article examines the structuring element of classical travelogues, the route, the process of its deconstruction through the motive of free swimming as an element of the creative space of fantasy.

Keywords: Vrungel, Munchausen, chatterbox, narrator, journey, route, citizen of the world, free swimming
