Specifics of the newest national adventure-philosophical literature in A. Marinina's “Gorky quest”

The purpose of this article is to analyze the author and the personage experiment in A. Marinina’s “Gorky quest” in order to determine the specifics of the newest adventure-philosophical literature. The author considers that the experimental verification of a philosophical idea is the basis of the novel. The idea is tested by the adventure plot and by the word particularly through philosophical dialogues (E. Yu. Kozmina). The author experiment of Marinina is based on the correlation of the norms of the 1970s and the present (it is the specific interest of the newest national literature). Characters and their ideas are tested by both periods. Personage experiments are also represented. On the one hand, these of the characters related to quest: Dick Wily, who organised the quest; the quest participants; staff members. On the other hand, the experiments of characters not related to quest: the experiment of Dick’s great-great-grandfather on their own descendants and others. Only the experiments related to the quest participants are considered. The author comes to the conclusion that the ideas of personages are confirmed (Dick’s idea to learn the truth with help of the quest, Roman’s idea of the positive impact of the quest on Evdokia and others) or disproved (Marina’s idea of “catching a tail” at a quest and others) or problematized (Natasha’s idea of “perfect 70s” and others) while testing by the adventure plot and by discourse. Specifics of the newest adventure-philosophical literature reveals itself at the complex of motives also: physiological plan of disguise, meal and blood is transformed into mental.
