PORTRAIT OF THE SOUL AND TIME: TEMPORAL FIGURES IN NABOKOV'S THE

GIFT
Summary:

This paper describes narrative time, the pace of narration, the frequency of events that make up the
action, but also the terraces of imagination, their distribution, intersections and interweavings. In
The Gift, the artist approaches time from different points, dealing with different times, including
historical times when he has not yet been born. By reconstructing the time figures, the unity of
code and sense in the novel can be determined. The underlying story embraces the embedded parts
which occupy more and more time. The last (Chernyshevski's biography) is a result of the
increasing artistic maturity of the character, with the previous ones only leading up to it. The
objective time described, in which the main character is immersed, is increasingly relieved from
the burden of his memories. Love comes to the artist along with his fulfilment through writing.
Narrative time (together with the lifetime of Nikolai Chernyshevski) spans across more than a
century.
KEYWORDS: narrative time, the pace of narration, the frequency of events, the time figures.
