Abstract

The novel entitled Novendialia (2008) by a Ukrainian authoress Maryna Sokolian (1979) with elements of a detective story and urban horror tells about fights between life energy kidnappers and its defenders employed by the Night Town Hall. In the text religious and psychologic aspects of various allusions are considered as well as authoress’ implications of fictitious mythical­magical system from the point of view of religion, philosophy, psychology (especially psychoanalysis). The price of life and death proves that the writer fits in the type of a novel on self­fulfilment, sacrifice and passions.
