| Summary: | International audience The first texts by Russia’s Northern indigenous authors have been unjustly forgotten: they were written in the second half on the 1930s, were naive and not very sophisticated, but they opened new ways. Indeed, the oncoming war swept away these debuts, while the young authors, almost without exception, disappeared in the turmoil. Among the literary works that deserve to be remembered there is Pantelejmon Evrin’s Two Hunters, the starting point of Mansi literature (1940). Curiously enough, Evrin touches upon two delicate issues: tensions between natives and Russians, and the confrontation between beliefs and socialist materialism. This article reviews what is known about the Mansi author, analyses the issues as they are presented in the short novel and gives an overview of its reception. Põhja-Venemaa põliselanikest kirjanike esimesed teosed on põhjendamatult unustusse vajunud: need kirjutati 1930. aastate teises pooles, tekstid olid naiivsed ja mitte väga keerukad, kuid rajasid uusi lähenemissuundi. Kahtlemata unustati need teosed vähemalt osaliselt sõja tõttu, mis puhkes varsti pärast nende avaldamist; ka autorid hukkusid pea eranditult. Need teosed ja autorid väärivad siiski mäletamist. Üks neist on Panteleimon Jevrin ja tema Kaks jahimeest (1940), mida loetakse mansi kirjanduse esimeseks teoseks. Jevrin käsitleb oma jutustuses kaht rasket küsimust: ühelt poolt pingeid põliselanike ja venelaste vahel, teiselt poolt kohalike usundite ja sotsialistliku materialismi kokkupõrget. Artiklis uurib autor, mida sellest mansi kirjanikust teatakse, analüüsib jutustuse teemasid ning kommenteerib teose retseptsiooni. Les premières oeuvres des écrivains débutants issus des peuples du Nord ont été injustement oubliées : écrites dans la deuxième moitié des années 1930, elles étaient certes naïves et peu sophistiquées, mais exploraient un terrain nouveau. Il est vrai que la guerre, survenue peu après, a balayé ces timides débuts, d'autant que les jeunes auteurs, presque sans exception, ont été ... |
