Abstract

Russian writer and poet Alexander Stepanovich Grin (1880-1932) publishes his long story Scarlet Sails (Алые паруса) in 1923. The period in which the work in question was written, pluralism is seen in literature. The issues are political, social and economic problems such as the October Revolution, the Civil War, the proletariat, in connection with the conditions of the people. Alexander Grin, in such a difficult period, wrote a long story with a fairy tale quality in order to give the Russian people the imagination, optimism and unwavering belief that miracles can happen. In the work is explained the story of Alsol, who lost her mother when she was a baby and lives with her father in a small fishing town. The work finds wide repercussions in Russian culture, poems are written about it and songs are composed. It has also been adapted for the stage many times, screened in films, played at plays, ballets, operas and musicals. becomes an indispensable element; it usually arrives in Petersburg on June 25 every year. A giant red sailboat brig appears over the Neva River at the high school students' graduation festivities held in a firestorm. In this respect, “scarlet sails” evokes happiness and hope in the consciousness of the Russian people. With this study, it is aimed to introduce the Scarlet Sails work, which has become a cult in Russian national culture but is not known in our country, and to examine it in the context of neoromanticism with hermeneutic analysis method. As a result, it has been determined that Scarlet Sails is a neoromantic work that contains symbolic-fantastic elements and the reflections of symbolism and impressionism are also seen.
