Abstract

The article compares peculiarities of poetics of the olonkho novel “The Land of the Udagans” by the Yakut writer Ariadna Borisova and the legendary novel by the South Korean writer Lee Hyun Soo “New Tales of Gisaeng”. The study of traditions of the national world image based on the materials from different ethnic cultures from the gender perspective revealed the artistic individuality of authors representing the world of the Arctic and Southeast Asia. The comparison of the works by Yakut and Korean writers revealed the life-giving role of women in society and its crisis. The heroines represent a typological model of female fate in different images. Women are carriers of the traditional cultural and moral values based on the family value. The text-forming role of artistic details is significant. It makes the text real, reducing the distance between the author and the reader. Describing the real world of the heroines, their way of life, the space of their houses, the writers strive to outline the female everyday worldview and the national picture of the world
