The second acknowledged model of Gr. Palaiolugue's Ο Polypathis (1839): F. Bulgarin's Ivan Vyzhigin (1829)
Abstract
F. Bulgarin is along with A. R. Lesage one of the writers who Gr. Palaiologue admits to have imitated when writing his novel, Ο Polypathis. The paper sheds light on the so far less thoroughly examined relation between the Greek Gil Bias and the Russian Gil Bias: Bulgarin's Ivan Vyzhigin. It points out the thematic, narrative, structural, ideological and other convergences and divergences between the two novels and concludes that both writers attempted to exploit Lesage's popular model in order to depict human manners. Furthermore, both Palaiologue and Bulgarin aspired to write the first roman de moeurs in their native languages.
