contents Worldview in Memoirs «Die Kavaliere von Illuxt» by Alexis von Engelhardt Valentina Talerko Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias, Ciencias Sociales, Artes y Humanidades) Latgale Pratchen worldview artistic space The Baltic Germans The paper is based on the book of memoirs by Alexis von Engelhardt Die Kavaliere von Illuxt, published in 1949. In the territory of Latgale, the Baltic Germans lived in small numbers; therefore, the book is of historical, culturological and literary interest. The text of the literary work is understood as an object of scientific reflection; all its components are connected into a single whole by the author’s creative thought. The research methodology is based on the interpretation of the literary text, the synthesis of statistical, cultural-historical, semantic and intertextual analysis in the critical perception of the text. The research aims to reveal the worldview presented in the literary work, which consists of the artistic space, representation of time, characters with their functions and objectives, and moral and ethical values. The particular objectives of the research include establishing the relationship between the text of the memoirs and jokes and entertaining stories of the Baltic Germans (Pratchen), the features of which have been identified in the author’s previous research, but which still represent a scientific lacuna. The life realities described in the book Die Kavaliere von Illuxt allow the author to reconstruct the organization of the people’s lives that has disappeared from the map of today’s Latvia. The artistic space constructed in this book shows a closed and stagnant world, a lack of impulses for internal development and an appeal to the past. Historical and event-driven artistic time, the inclusiveness of individual stories into the canvas of historical events brings the narrative closer to Pratchen, i.e. jokes and entertaining stories of the Baltic Germans. Alexis von Engelhardt’s book Die Kavaliere von Illuxt is currently the only source of jokes and entertaining stories (Pratchen) of the Baltic Germans about Latgale. 2021 artículo científico 2335-2388 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=694473962011 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6944/694473962011/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6944/694473962011/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6944/694473962011/694473962011.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6944/694473962011/movil https://doi.org/10.15388/RESPECTUS.2021.40.45.98 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6944 Respectus Philologicus application/pdf Vilniaus Universitetas Respectus Philologicus (Lituania) Num.45 Vol.40
