Abstract: 

The article is devoted to analysis of semantic of concepts “reading” and “writing” in the semantic structure of the provincial plot of Russian literature XIX century. These concepts make thematic differences between different groups of the plots. In the story-telling level province also presents a-lexical and a-graphical world, where reading is replaced by a card game or other un-intellectual pastime. Writing as creative act is compared with writing as work with business papers. In the article variants, connected with destruction of archaic model “the world as book”, are analyzed. This semantic is determined of typological peculiarities of fiction (P. Zasodimsky, M. Al’bov, D. V. Grigorovich and other). These concepts are changed in the masterpieces of the Russian literature (N. Leskov, I. Goncharov, A. Chekhov). Here, reading and writing (as “pisanie”) are contrasted with Creative and New Testament (“Pisanie”).

Keywords:
