Abstract
The article considers the research of F. Dostoevsky’s text “The boy at Christ’s Christmas tree holiday” carried out through (non-traditional for literature history) Gilbert Durand concept of a structure of the imaginary and Yeshayahu Shen cognitive methods, emphasizing special role of five senses in artistic language. The analysis is based on a comparison of concepts “diurne” and “nocturne”, on a clarification of a role of the fear and the place of rhetorical figures in a composition. It also clarifies a manifestation of motives of the death and Christ and a role of fiction frame for the text, what (in views of the narrator) implicitly underlines the significance of the art in its entirety.
