Abstract:
The article examines the “manifestation” of the autobiographical hero in Skitalets’s novelette “Stages”, which exists in two editions – 1908 and 1937. The first edition appeared when the writer already had a footing in literary circles; the second was published shortly after his return to Homeland from emigration, in 1934. Both editions contain a first-person narrative and relate the author & apos;s life story. However, in the earlier editions, Skitalets focuses on the analysis of the inner world, revealing the psychological changes in the hero’s mind. In the latter, the author mainly explores the development of the personality under certain influence of his environment and various circumstances. Moreover, from the very beginning the author was guided by the canon of socialist realism, wishing to present the growth of a “social” person, who subordinates the individual to the collective and is ready to offer his entire life for the revolutionary cause.
