LITERARY CINEMATOGRAPHIC STYLE AND THE BIBLICAL MOTIFS IN THE NOVEL “THE VOICE OF THE CALLER” BY ALBERTS BEL

Abstract

Alberts Bels’ novels have occupied a remaining place in the history of Latvian literature and these texts continue to fascinate us with their polyphony. One of the aspects why Bels’ novels do not lose their topicality is the fact that the writer has indulged in archetypical thinking – neo-mythicism, specifically, use of biblical personages, images andmotifs in the subtext and in the direct substantiation for the plot. Another aspect of intertextuality that turns Bels’ texts into exciting, visually and even audio-visually perceivable literature is represented by the elements of cinematographic style. The layers of Bels’ novels reveal a firmnetwork that provide innovative revelations about the multidimensional ideas of his literary works by remaining within the framework of a certain artistic system.
