- Annotation: The article examines the interaction of the motives of “humility” and “spiritual journey” in the book by B.K. Zaitsev “Athos”. Their cycle-forming function is shown. The features of the artistic implementation of these motifs are revealed. The system of images used by the writer to represent the motives of “humility” and “spiritual journey” is reconstructed. It is proved that the poetics of these motifs is formed from many elements and includes impressionism in the depiction of pictures of nature, the use of symbols of Medieval literature, quoting lines from Holy Scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers. The work also traces the genetic connection of the motifs of “humility” and “spiritual journeying” with the ancient genre of walking. Particular attention is paid to identifying the value guidelines that determine the philosophical concept of the cycle. It is concluded that the motifs under consideration are further developed in the essay cycle “Valaam” and the tetralogy “Gleb’s Journey”.
