Abstract
The article examines German sources of the image of Ahasverus in the Russian literature of the first half of the 19th century. It studies the peculiarities of its interpretation in the works of Russian writers - in the “Ahasuerus, a Poem in Fragments” and the novel “The Last Colonna” by Wilhelm Küchelbecker, and also in the epic poem by Vasily Zhukovsky “The Wandering Jew”. The author traces the connection of these works with the German literary, in particular, with the the works of representatives of the “Sturm und Drang” (“Storm and Stress”) movement, and reveals the features of interpretation of the Ahasverus plot in the first half of the 19th century Russian literature.
