| Abstract | |
In Kolyma Tales, Varlam Salamov recounts his experience in the world of Soviet labor camps. The first part of this study looks at the main formal aspects of Shalamovs work: how to represent his experience. His work communicates a way of doing literature, a new prose, which further expands discussions of literary genres and forms. In the second part of this study, the focus is on the numerous characters that make up this framework: the blatar, a prisoner already formed by the laws of banditry; the portchak, a sporadic criminal, partially corrupted, but not yet a blatar; the fraier, an ordinary man, naïve in the world of crime and a victim of the other prisoners. In Shalamovs words, the experience in the camp constitutes a negative school, thus suggesting a new formation for all those who pass through it. The story The Course, which deals with Shalamovs apprenticeship as a health professional in Kolyma, is analyzed to anchor the reason for the training (AU) | |
