The exhibition, dedicated to the 85th anniversary of Belarusian writer, publicist, scenarist, laureate of the BSSR Kastus Kalinouski State Prize (1990) Victor Karamazov, is held from June 17 to July 18 in the Belarusian literature reading room (205).
Working in the post-war, the so-called philological generation, Viktor Karamazov has found his own special way, fruitfully filling thematic and problematic niches in national prose. The writer is concerned with the issue of internal degradation of a person, leading him to spiritual impoverishment, alienation from the earth and nature. The author's aesthetic and ethical credo is the affirmation of spirituality and humanity. He intends to show an ordinary person with everyday worries that become decisive for his fate.
The works by Victor Karamazov represent the hope of escape from the hustle and bustle, incredible speed of life, the opportunity to take a break, go back to basics, stop - and see, hear and feel what you need for balance, which will save in difficult moments of life.
The first section of the exposition consists of short stories, essays, novels and, many of which are studied in schools and universities as exemplary works of Belarusian literature.
Viktor Karamazov is not the only Belarusian prose writer who has tried himself in the genre of the fictionalized biography of the masters of fine art. The author writes about each of the artists in his own way, noting creative style, conscious bias, mentality, facts of the biography and specifics of his relationships with these personalities.
The second section of the exhibition is devoted to the life and creative ways of V. Karamazov and contains articles from magazines and collections on this topic, as well as a book by Dina Dudinskaya.
At the exhibition there are more than 60 documents.
