This article aims to analyze the interface of literature and history with reference to the novel “The Saga of Muziris” by Sethu. It mainly focuses on the levels which historical events impact the society and the resulting changes in sociocultural realms. An important event in the history of Kerala is considered here - the Jewish departure. Authors have identified literature as history concentrating on significant historical events: for example, K.N. Panikkar in his essay “Novel as Colonial Narrative” analyzes colonisation as individual experience. The article analyze how social constructions were altered during and after these events. The eventual conclusion is that this events contributed to the restructuring of society largely resulting in triumph of community and hence the novel can be considered as a narrative of history as a social experience.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">Литература и история - это области знания, которые не могут существовать независимо друг от друга. Цель статьи проанализировать взаимодействие литературы и истории со ссылкой на роман Сетху «Сага о Музирисе». Основное внимание уделяется тем уровням, на которых исторические события влияют на общество, и вытекающим из этого изменениям в социокультурных сферах. Рассматривается важное событие в истории Кералы: отъезд евреев. Многие авторы определяли литературу как историю, концентрирующуюся на значимых исторических событиях: например, К.Н. Паниккар в своем эссе «Роман как колониальный нарратив» пишет о колонизации как об индивидуальном опыте. В статье изучается изменение социальных конструкций во время и после этих событий. Заключительный вывод состоит в том, что данные события способствовали перестройке общества, в значительной степени приведшей к триумфу сообщества, поэтому роман можно считать повествованием об истории как социальном опыте.</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Sethu</kwd><kwd>The Saga of Muziris</kwd><kwd>literature as history</kwd><kwd>multiple narratives</kwd><kwd>Jewish departure</kwd><kwd>othering</kwd><kwd>triumph of community</kwd><kwd>tragedy of individual</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Сетху</kwd><kwd>Сага о Музирисе</kwd><kwd>литература как история</kwd><kwd>множественные нарративы</kwd><kwd>уход евреев</kwd><kwd>отречение</kwd><kwd>триумф общины</kwd><kwd>трагедия личности</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Panikkar, K.N.
