   <dcterms:abstract>An attempt has been made in this study to examine in depth&#xd;
the early novels of Konstantin Fedin. The novels discussed are&#xd;
Goroda i gody, Brat'ja, Poxiscenie Evropy, and Sanatorij Arktur,&#xd;
so that the period covered is from 1924 to 1940.&#xd;
Attention was paid primarily to Fedin's artistic method in&#xd;
an endeavour to establish the narrative techniques and literary&#xd;
devices characteristic of the author's work. The problem of&#xd;
characterization is also discussed in detail and the personalities&#xd;
of the principal figures are analyzed in the case of each novel.&#xd;
The question of chronology in Fedin's work has attracted&#xd;
considerable interest, and an analysis of the construction of the&#xd;
novels is provided with a view to establishing the time relationships within each novel. in addition, this study attempts to&#xd;
determine the actual period presented in each case, and it is&#xd;
claimed that new conclusions have been reached in this respect.</dcterms:abstract>
