Abstract. The article is devoted to the religious-philosophical and symbolic comprehension of the notion "divine light" in M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin’s novel "The Golovlyov Family". After analyzing liturgical sources, the author of the work comes to the conclusion that the archetypal image of the light in the text of a fiction work takes on an unconventional meaning: it indicates the remoteness of a man from God.
Key words and phrases: мотив, свет, божественный свет, тьма, пустота, motive, light, divine light, darkness, emptiness
