Résumé
The article analyzes the construction of the literary imagination of the fair in the Russian literature of the 19th century. Two key sources nourish this field: the works of Pushkin and Gogol. Studying the literary works of Chekhov and Bunin, two authors who partly rely on the previous literary heritage, one can observe the development of this literary motif at the end of the 19th century and at the dawn of the 20th century. Including the image sketched in Eugene Onegin and going through the construction of an ambivalent space-time in Gogol, the values associated with this traditionally carnivalesque space-time (laughter, celebration, union, etc.) are finally transgressed in Chekhov’s and Bunin’s works, while the elements associated with this motif during the 19th century (the amorous conquest, the crowd, etc.) are diverged.
