Keyword: «“eugene onegin”»

The article discusses the intertextual relations of two novels in verse – “Eugene Onegin” by A.S. Pushkin and the «Golden Gate» by the modern Indian writer, poet V. Seth, who writes in English. The object of analysis is the intertextual connection of these works written in different epochs and in different cultures. The Pushkin text in this peculiar "intertextual complex" acts as a source text (pretext) on the basis of which a new text is created, while the latter reproduces not only the pretext form (Onegin stanza), but also the image of the Puskin's hero, that allows us to call the novel by V. Set «Onegin from San Francisco». The search for the intertextual parallels was carried out by analyzing the first chapters of both texts, since namely in these chapters both authors introduce their heroes, and V. Seth literally accentuates «the genetic kinship» of his hero with Pushkin's one.
