Spatial organization of modern works about Buryatia (A. Erdyneev’s “Once upon a time in Buryatia”, G. Ayurzana’s “Legend about a shaman”)

The article analyzes the peculiarities of spatial organization in Alexandr Erdyneev’s novella "Once in Buryatia" (2013) and the novel " Legend about a shaman " (2015) by Mongolian writer Guna Ayurzana. In these works worldview is revealed through shamanistic understanding of human life as an integral part of the transcendental world. Expressing the national vision, the writers go through the basics of shamanism to the edge of universal bases in the perception of the world. From the authors’ standpoints, a person must respect nature, society, and people around him (especially family). Besides, a person must adhere to the spiritual ethical norms laid down in the depths of the culture. G. Ayuarzana and A. Erdyneev want to warn people against soulless, consumer attitude to the whole natural world. The image of broken spiritual balance both in society and in nature is represented as eschatological. The studied works appeal to think about some results of people’s degradation in society, their selfish attitude to the entire natural world. The authors declare, that the whole living world needs for renewal of the harmonic balance, which is possible to achieve if a person realizes his unity with nature.
