| Abstract [eng] |
A phenomenon of pain, endured from body destroying malignant disease and caused by it sufferings of protagonist Lars Lenart Vestin (Veslan) of a novel Beekeeper‘s death by Swedish writer, philosopher Lars Gustafsson (1936‒2016), understood as unique limit life experience of a person, leading to non-existance, is analyzed in the paper. A confrontation with death of a dying person, his phenomenal encounter with finality of own body is interpreted in the paper as a long and complicated process of dying. The object of this paper is body and spiritual experience of a sick person of a novel, obtained during a travel to death of more than half a year, analyzed on the basis of insights of phenomenological pain theory of a Swedish medicine philosopher F. Svenaeus and on the formulated by Swiss psychologist, psychiatrist E. Kübler-Ross, living in the USA, behavior of dying people, based on the observation of psychologal states of five grief overcoming stages model. Pain, from day to day exhausting the body is a physical experience of a dying hero, and the caused by him suffering is more spiritual category. Death disease, which has been exhausting the person for long months, takes from a protagonist body freedom of action, makes him disabled, a phenomenon, which can not overstep a threshold of a house and take case of himself any more. Pain, caused by main tumor and newly went out metastases in body experience of a hero opens as a depth of his unknown until disease inside powers, as the given by the same fate possibility to know your body and survive in unique way. During the most extreme pain, the body is transcended. Physical blossom bares the body of a sick person, as a result of which, when the other fails to know Veslan‘s organism, a nuisance through pain becomes visible as external angustia layer. Shocked by the fact of a coming death, a protagonist travels in his inside spiritual world through droughty, distinguished by doctor E. Kübler-Ross diagnosis denial, bitterness because of disaster which destroyed an ordinary flow of life, a short-term attempt to negotiate with own inside powers in order they do not get tired to fight, do not give up till the last sigh, grief as a result of the slipping out from teh feet ground and acceptance vales of tragic fate. Each of them is kind of self-defence measure of a hero, step by step helping to realize the mortality of own body and reflecting the way of inside development. Death disease, although impoverishes beekeeper‘s everyday routine, however, having strongly changed the value orientation of a sick person, grows him up as a personality. Having faced physical suffering and affected by it (pathei mathos), Lars Lenart Vestin matures up spiritually, from now starts valuating his ending life differently, from the aspect of eternity (sub specie aeternitatis). Veslan becomes aware that human being is temporary and that the largest value of every person in this world is the life itself, time, devoted for existence and measured to everyone differently. In the world of asylum of this phenomenology I, the protagonist, having found the real value of life, like his own body, finds the value after depths of the organism start secretly decay. Decay of unseen body depths which lasted for nine months is the time, devoted for spiritual revival of Lars Lenart Vestin. A new essence of the ending life is matured and carried in a womb of dying in sufferings body. And although the hero no longer fulfills it, still, it deteriorates by transcendentally hoping that the life was not meaningless even it was lived in not so mature way, that it has a unique, priceless value. |
