Ritrovare la tradizione. Gli scrittori russi in un romanzo di Vladimir Makanin

In his novel "Andegraund, ili geroj našego vremeni" ("Underground ovvero Un eroe del nostro tempo", 1998) related to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rising of the modern Russia, Vladimir Makanin presents a striking intertextual network which refers to the national literature. Makanin’s renewal of the great literary tradition serves as a guarantee in order to preserve the cultural unity in times of dramatic changes.
