The manor world in the poetry of A.A. Fet: aesthetics, symbolism and philosophy

the article is a study of the manor world in the poetry of Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet, one of the most significant poets of Russian literature of the 19th century. The manor in Fet's work is considered as a complex artistic image combining aesthetic, symbolic and philosophical aspects. The paper analyses the key motifs associated with the life of the estate, their symbolic significance and role in creating a unified image of nature and human existence. In Fet's poetry, the world of the estate appears as a space where nature, culture and human soul merge together, creating a unique artistic universe. The world of the manor in A.A. Fet's poetry is an idealised space where nature and culture merge. Through the details of the estate landscape – gardens, paths, ponds, pavilions – the poet conveys a sense of harmony and order and emphasises the aesthetic value of this world. The estate becomes a place of creative solitude where the lyrical hero finds inspiration and serenity. The symbolic meaning of the manor world is manifested in its correlation with the inner world of the lyrical hero. The manor becomes a metaphor for peace of mind, harmony and unity with nature. In Fet's poems, the estate landscape often personifies transience, beauty and vulnerability of the moment, emphasising philosophical reflections on the value of each moment of life.
