This dissertation explores the literary work of the Russian emigre novelist, Gajto Gazdanov (1903-1971), establishing general operating rules and structures of the writer's fictive world through the concrete textual observations of the leading themes, symbolic subtexts, and certain latent key codes in Gazdanov's prose. The purpose of this thesis is to place Gajto Gazdanov in the context of Russian and French Modernist Literature, to define the philosophical and stylistic referents of his writings, and to discuss his relationship with one of the key figures in the twentieth century Modernism, the Russian-American writer, Vladimir Nabokov. Personal biographical experiences in Gazdanov's prose intermingle with the broad philosophical theme of memory, echoing Nabokov's, Proust's, and Bergson's works. The narrator searching for the past is involved in the fixation of mnemonic mechanisms and the creating new notions of Time and Space. The principal oppositions between the space of the dream evoked by memory or imagination and the physical space of real objects constantly emerge in Gazdanov's oeuvre. The thesis focuses on Gazdanov's narrator's Dreamworld, which shifts the boundaries between the real and the imaginary, makes the narrator's vision pervasively blurry, populating his fictive space with ghostly specters of being. The theme of a dream is tied to the perception of the Self and the relation with the Other. Physical tangibility of Gazdanov's personages, their gender identity, and the author's attitude toward his literary characters are discussed in comparison with Nabokov's approach to character presentation. The motive of the vagabond in Gazdanov's prose, originated in vagrancy of exile, assumes deeper meaning as wandering through life to its final destination. For Gazdanov, presentiment of death penetrates every aspect of human existence. The theme of death, ethical judgement of good and evil, and the philosophy of Beauty and deformity are developed in Gazdanov's universe through a fairly complete philosophical system. The writer's worldview, which takes ultimate shape in his late novels and short stories, resembles, to a great extent, the philosophical ideas of French existentialists, Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre.
