Abstract

The word “literature” refers to letter, but, paradoxically, the emotional dimension of words, its basic material, only manifests itself as resonance. The voice, that which is “discarded” –the voice as sound, as diction, as mimicry, as identity− has itself an extraordinary importance for the configuration of the Russian literature at large and for the literature of authors such as Gogol, Dostoievsky and Platonov in particular. This paper offers a brief historical review of the development of the Russian literary language and characterizes some stylistic aspects related to the voice of these emblematic authors so as to finally reflect on the importance of taking such aspects into account when translating.
